What is the Indian Housing Block Grant Funding?
|
|
The Indian Housing Block Grant Program (IHBG) is a formula grant that provides a range of affordable housing activities on Indian reservations and Indian areas.
Originally created by the enactment of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA), the IHBG provided tribes with a flexible funding mechanism without requiring tribal housing entities to seek funds through a myriad of separate housing programs.
IHBG allows tribes to address the specific housing needs of their communities, including assistance to housing developed under the 1937 Indian Housing Program, construction of new homes, housing services to eligible families and individuals, crime prevention and safety, and model activities that provide creative approaches to solving affordable housing problems.
