Native American Housing Initiatives Grants Program

The Native American Housing Initiatives Grants Program is a new, voluntary grant program that provides Native American tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHE) with access to grant funds intended to build their communities in support of housing for tribal members in FHLBank’s district (Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma).

Eligibility

Recipients must provide housing services to federally recognized tribal members in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska or Oklahoma.

Federally Recognized Tribe | A federally recognized tribe is an American Indian or Alaska Native tribal entity that is recognized as having a government-to-government relationship with the United States with the responsibilities, powers, limitations and obligations attached to that designation and is eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Federally recognized tribes possess certain inherent rights of self-government (i.e., tribal sovereignty) and are entitled to receive certain federal benefits, services and protections because of their special relationship with the United States.

Tribally Designated Housing Entity | A TDHE may be a department within the federally recognized tribe, tribal housing authority with separate board of commissioners or a nonprofit organization serving members of a federally recognized tribe.
