  • Lets tribes and tribally designated housing entities set their own rent and procurement policies, and consolidates environmental review across multiple federal funding sources when federal funds from other sources make up no more than 49 percent of project cost.
  • Creates a Tribal HUD-VASH rental assistance program for Indian veterans and new homelessness grant programs for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians, and extends the Indian Continuum of Care participation grant program with $25 million a year available once competitive funding exceeds fiscal year 2026 levels.
