HUD awarded around $56 million to 80 Native American tribes throughout the country to improve housing conditions and to stimulate economic development in their communities. The ICDBG program helps supports a wide range of community development and affordable housing activities, from new housing for individual families to community amenities like rec centers or water lines.
