A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) Formula and Competitive Programs.

OMB Approval Number: 2577-0218.

Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.

Form Number: HUD-2880, HUD-4117, HUD-4117 A-D, HUD-4119, HUD-4119 A-D, HUD-4123, HUD-52736-A, HUD-52736-B, HUD-52737 IHP-APR, HUD-52737 GEMS IHP/APR, HUD-53248 IHBG-COMP APR, SF-424, SF-424-D, SF-425.

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 ( printed page 13317) (NOFO) are published on Grants.gov, where applicants submit applications.
