What it does

The forecast lists an estimated posting date of 2026-12-16, and projects must principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Imminent Threat grants, which address immediate public health or safety threats, are a separate first-come, first-served option and do not require the deadline.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Who it covers: Tribal governments, Alaska Native villages.

  2. If a will apply for a tribe, draft the concurring resolutions now, since they must accompany the application.
  3. Watch for the posting, estimated for 2026-12-16, and plan project scope around the low- and moderate-income benefit requirement.
