SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD invited applicants to submit proposals
for funding that encouraged the use of sustainable construction
practices in Native American housing. Proposals were to take into
account the multiple geographic, economic and cultural aspects of
Native American residential design and construction. HUD sought
applications in four broad areas: demonstration; technical assistance;
curriculum development/training; and information dissemination related
to sustainable construction in the Native Community. Activities
performed under the Sustainable Construction in Indian Country Small
Grant Program should document the impact of one or more innovative
approaches to sustainable construction in Indian Country, identify a
set of lessons learned, and then develop, deploy or distribute a tool
highlighting those lessons. Grants could range from $50,000 to
$100,000. Grants are awarded for up to a two-year period.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program
is 14.525.
