An applicant must be eligible as an Indian tribe (or as a tribal organization), as required by 24 CFR 1003.5, by the application deadline date. Tribes: Eligible applicants are any Indian tribe, band, group, or nation, including Alaska Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos, and any Alaska Native village of the United States which is considered an eligible recipient under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450) or which had been an eligible recipient under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 (31 U.S.C. 1221). Eligible recipients under the Indian Self- Determination and Education Assistance Act will be determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and eligible recipients under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 are those that have been determined eligible by the Department of Treasury, Office of Revenue Sharing. For more information, see “Indian Entities Recognized by and Eligible To Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs” (87 Fed. Reg. 4636, January 28, 2022, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-01-28/pdf/2022-01789.pdf). Tribal Organizations: Tribal organizations which are eligible under Title I of the Indian Self- Determination and Education Assistance Act may apply on behalf of any Indian tribe, band, group, nation, or Alaska Native village eligible under that act for funds under this NOFO when one or more of these entities have authorized the tribal organization to do so through concurring resolutions. In addition, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Indian Health Service (IHS), must provide a letter that states that the tribal organization is eligible under Title I of the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act. A copy of this letter must be included in your application submission, unless your organization has already provided such a letter in previous years approved by HUD and the status of your tribal organization has not changed. HUD will not review an application submitted by a tribal organization on behalf of a specific tribe if the tribe itself applies for the same funding round.   Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
