Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996
On August 8, 2022, HUD announced two new opportunities for funding in housing and community development projects in Native communities. According to the announcement, approximately $129 million will be made available for the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Competitive Grant Program and approximately $92 million for the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program through fiscal year (FY) 2022. The IHBG program supports tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) in building, preserving, and acquiring affordable housing and addressing affordable housing-related infrastructure needs. The ICDBG program helps eligible tribes and Alaska Native villages develop infrastructure for housing, community facilities, and economic development projects.
