Funding will be provided through the following program components:

The purpose of the Imminent Threat Grants component is to alleviate or remove imminent threats towards health or safety of tribal residents. The threat to be addressed must be such that an emergency exists or would exist if the threat were not addressed. Funding must address threats of an urgent nature that were not evident at the time of submission of an application to this program's Single Purpose Grants component, or that require immediate action.
Optional webinars are scheduled for this program. Refer to the Application section for details.
