Indian Housing Block Grant Program | HUD. gov / U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Indian Housing Block Grant Program Indian Housing Block Grant Program The Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program is the primary means by which the Federal Government fulfills its trust responsibilities to provide adequate housing to Native Americans and is the single largest source of Indian housing assistance.
It is a formula grant that is distributed annually and funds affordable housing activities including new housing construction, rehabilitation, and housing services, and much more. Tribal sovereignty and Tribal self-determination drive the IHBG program.
These principles are grounded in long-standing treaties, court decisions, statutes, Executives Orders, the U.S. Constitution, and the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). NAHASDA emphasizes the government-to-government relationship between the Federal Government and Tribes and recognizes that Tribes should make policy decisions and manage programs for their members and their communities.
Eligible IHBG recipients are federally recognized Tribes, Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), and a limited number of State-recognized Tribes. Each year, IHBG recipients use GEMS * to electronically submit an Indian Housing Plan (IHP) to receive funding and complete an Annual Performance Report (APR) (Form HUD-52737).
GEMS is an internet-based applications that automates much of the process for completing and submitting IHPs/APRs, IHP Amendments, IHP Waivers, and Tribal Certifications. A fillable PDF version of the IHP/APR form is available through Area ONAPs for IHBG recipients with unreliable internet service. Please contact your local Area ONAP office with questions.
GEMS is currently available to all ONAP regions. Please visit the GEMS webpage for the most current updates regarding the transition.

The September 29, 2026 USDA-HUD memorandum of understanding delivers what Section 802 of the ROAD to Housing Act required. Three of its four commitments are agreements to evaluate. The fourth freezes 24 CFR part 58 at its January 1, 2025 text and routes every categorical-exclusion change through notice-and-comment rulemaking.

Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
