Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD's
Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) will use the pre-award and
post-award information collected to assess program compliance, monitor
grantee performance throughout the grant term, and to report annually
to Congress. HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) is
responsible for managing the IHBG Formula and IHBG Competitive
programs, as described below.
IHBG Formula Program: The Native American Housing Assistance and
Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.)
(NAHASDA) authorizes the IHBG Formula program what supports the
development, management, and operation of affordable homeownership and
rental housing; infrastructure development; and other forms of housing
assistance intended for low-income persons. 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 authorized by the U.S. Housing
Act of 1937 are eligible to receive IHBG funds. Under the IHBG Formula
Program, eligible recipients receive an equitable share of funds as
appropriated by Congress.
IHBG Competitive Program: Since 2018, Congress has appropriated
additional funding under the IHBG Formula program for the IHBG
Competitive Grant (IHBG-COMP), also under assistance listing 14.867.
IHBG-COMP prioritizes projects that increase the availability of
affordable housing in Tribal communities with consideration to extent
of need and administrative capacity. The regulations and requirements
governing the IHBG formula program apply to the IHBG Competitive
program. The IHBG-COMP Notices of Funding Opportunities

applications.
