Throughout the nation, Tribes are using resources to foster, construct, and support their communities within their lands and beyond. The work is challenging, rewarding, and impressive. At the heart of much of this effort lies the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program. The program is brought to life by the Tribes and Tribal housing practitioners, and their work is invaluable.
