What the grant funds

The Tribal HUD-VA Supportive Housing (Tribal HUD-VASH) demonstration program was established under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235, approved December 16, 2014) (2015 Appropriations Act), and provides grants to Indian Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) eligible to receive block grants under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). Grantees use funding towards rental assistance and supportive services for Native American Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, living on or near a reservation or other Indian areas. Under Tribal HUD-VASH, Indian Tribes and TDHEs must partner with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide case management and supportive services, including healthcare assistance, to eligible Native American Veterans. On March 2, 2016, HUD published a Federal Register Notice (81 FR 10880) entitled “Tribal HUD–VA Supportive Housing Program Awards, Fiscal Year 2015” notifying the public regarding HUD’s funding decisions under the Tribal HUD-VASH program for Fiscal Year 2015. In total, 26 Indian Tribes and TDHEs were selected to participate in the demonstration program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (Pub. L. 115-31, approved May 5, 2017) (2017 Appropriations Act) provided HUD with $7 million for the Tribal HUD-VASH demonstration program. Congress directed HUD to use this funding to provide renewal grants to the original Indian Tribes and TDHEs that received funding under the demonstration program. After awarding renewal funding, Congress authorized HUD to use any remaining amounts appropriated to fund new grants. In September 2018, HUD provided the original 26 Indian Tribes and TDHEs participating in the program with $3,765,568 of the $7 million in renewal funding. In accordance with the 2017 Appropriations Act, this NOFA establishes the criteria HUD will use to award the remaining $3,234,432 for new grants. The 2017 Appropriations Act requires HUD to make awards based on need and administrative capacity. On June 3, 2019, HUD issued a “Dear Tribal Leader” letter (https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PIH/documents/Tribal%20Vash%20Expansion%20June%203.pdf) to all tribal leaders and TDHEs. The letter sought tribal feedback on how HUD should assess need and administrative capacity.
