Description
This program provides funding to federally recognized Tribes and eligible Tribal organizations to address imminent threats to public health or safety within their communities. The grant is part of the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Imminent Threat (IT) Program, which enables rapid response to urgent issues such as natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or other emergencies that, if left unresolved, would have immediate negative impacts on tribal residents. Funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis until all appropriated funds are awarded.
