Paperwork Burden and Cost for IHBG Participants

HUD estimates 4,290 respondents, 78,695 total annual burden hours, and an annual cost of $3,549,145 for this collection.
Who is Eligible for IHBG Funds
Federally recognized Native American Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, tribally designated housing entities, and a limited number of State-recognized Tribes that were funded under the Indian Housing Program of 1937 are eligible to receive Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds to support affordable homeownership, rental housing, and infrastructure.
IHBG Competitive Grants Prioritize Need and Capacity
Since 2018, Congress has provided additional funding for the IHBG Competitive (IHBG-COMP) program, which prioritizes projects that increase affordable housing in Tribal communities based on extent of need and administrative capacity. IHBG-COMP Notices of Funding Opportunities are published on Grants.gov for applicants.
