HUD has announced over $90 million in grant awards to 24 Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) across the U.S. to support new housing construction, housing rehabilitation, and critical infrastructure projects. The funds were awarded through HUD's Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) competitive program to help construct new housing units for low-income families living in Tribal communities. It is projected that this funding will support the construction of approximately 350 new housing units, which will help spur economic opportunities in these communities. This year's IHBG competition generated a lot of interest and was very oversubscribed with a total of 141 applicants submitted by Tribes and TDHEs. This is the second time HUD is making awards under this program. The first round of awards was made in December 2019.
