The money earmarks $29.8 million dollars for the four tribes in North Dakota. Minnesota will also receive 29.8 million.
The IHBG program is a formula grant that supports a wide range of affordable housing initiatives in Tribal communities. These initiatives include housing development, operation and modernization of existing housing, housing services for eligible families and individuals, safety and crime prevention measures, and model activities.
