Continuum of Care Builds (CoC Builds)

Indian Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHE). The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260, approved December 27, 2020) amended title IV to add section 435 of the Act to allow Indian Tribes and TDHEs to be Collaborative Applicants, eligible entities, or subrecipients of the CoC Program in addition to amending title IV section 401 to add the terms "Formula Area" and "Indian Tribe." These amendments mean that not only may Tribes and TDHEs apply for grants through other CoCs, but that formula areas, as that term is defined in the Indian Housing Block Grant program at 24 CFR 1000.302, are eligible to be added to the geographic areas of existing CoCs or may be included in newly formed CoCs through the CoC registration process (see Notice CPD-22-02) or may be temporarily added through the process outlined in Section III.A.5. Any applicant that is not a Tribe or TDHE proposing to site a project on a Tribal reservation or trust land, or proposing to carry out a Tribal project located in an IHBG formula area must include a Tribal resolution from the Tribe authorizing the applicant to do so or a letter from an official or principal of the Indian Tribe or TDHE who is authorized to act on behalf of the Indian Tribe or TDHE. Tribes do not need to include a Tribal resolution to site a project on their own reservation or trust land. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
