What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Tribal Affordable Housing Act. It requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to award competitive grants to eligible Indian Tribes and Tribally designated housing entities. The purpose of these grants is to build residential dwelling units or add necessary features to them on Tribal land. Eligible entities include those that received a final allocation of less than $500,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in at least one of the five fiscal years immediately before the fiscal year under specific existing law. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and each subsequent fiscal year to carry out this section.
