Summary:

The purpose of this program is to support the development of viable Indian and Alaska Native communities, including the creation of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for persons of low and moderate income. Applicants are expected to align their application with the funding agency's strategic goal and objective of investing in the success of communities by promoting equitable community development that generates wealth-building for underserved communities, particularly for communities of color.

Funding will be provided through the following program components:

  • (Part A): Single Purpose Grants
  • (Part B): Imminent Threat (IT) Program

The purpose of the Imminent Threat (IT) Program component is to alleviate or remove imminent threats to public health or safety of tribal residents. Imminent threats are issues that, if unresolved or not addressed, will have an immediate negative impact on public health or safety. Imminent threats must be independently verified, must be of a non-recurring nature, must represent a unique and unusual circumstance, and must impact an entire service area.

Examples of eligible activities include:

  • Acquisition of real property: purchasing land or buildings
  • Public facilities and improvements: construction or improvement of public facilities, including buildings and infrastructure
  • Clearance activities: demolition or removal of hazardous structures, debris, or materials
  • Public services: provision of public services directed toward improving a community's public services and facilities
  • Interim assistance: alleviating emergency conditions threatening public health and safety
  • Relocation assistance: providing financial assistance and services to individuals or business who must permanently or temporarily relocate
  • Housing services: providing housing counseling, energy auditing, preparation of work specifications, loan processing, inspections, tenant selection, management of tenant-based rental assistance, and other similar services
  • Privately owned utilities: acquiring, constructing, reconstructing, rehabilitating, or installing distribution lines and facilities of previously owned utilities
  • Homeownership assistance: providing financing, down payment assistance, or closing costs to homeowners
  • Housing rehabilitation: repairing housing that has been damaged or is at risk
  • New housing construction: construction of new housing to address imminent threats

Refer to pages 3-5 of the NOFA file for additional information regarding these eligible activities. Award recipients may use funds for equipment necessary to carry out project activities, as well as for emergency payments for low- and moderate-income individuals or families affected by presidentially declared disasters (PDDs) for up to six months.
