25 U.S.C. § 4164: Performance reports

Summary

Each year, any recipient of grant money must review how well it carried out the Indian housing plans for the tribes it serves and send a report to the Secretary in a form the Secretary accepts. The report must explain how the grant funds were used, how those uses matched the planned activities in the tribes’ housing plans, and what the program achieved. The Secretary will set deadlines, review the reports, and may give recommendations. The recipient must share the report with people in its area early enough for them to comment before it is sent and must include a short summary of any comments received.
