IHP and APR Guidance
Other Needs. If “Other” was checked for Line 1, describe the specific housing needs that
Line 2:
are not included among the other types of need. This line should include a description of
the housing needs of low-income and non-low-income Indian families in the tribe’s
jurisdiction, as applicable.
Planned Program Benefits. Describe how the One-Year IHP’s planned IHBG programs
Line 3:
will address the affordable housing needs identified in Lines 1 and 2. For example, if the
recipient checked that there is a need for college housing, it would then describe how the
recipient’s planned program(s) addresses this need.
For many tribes, affordable housing need far exceeds funding, and so it is not expected that
all identified needs will be able to be addressed through the One-Year Plan.
Line 4:
Geographic Distribution. Describe how the program intends to distribute assistance
throughout the geographic area, and how this ties to the housing needs of low-income
families. For example, if the recipient intends to focus its rental housing program on
buying units in a nearby county, the recipient should explain that this distribution of
assistance meets the needs of low-income tribal members living in that area.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Statutory and Regulatory References: [102(b)(2)(A)], [233(a)], [235(c)], [404(b)], 24 CFR
§1000.512(b)(2) and (3)
In this section, the recipient must provide a description of its planned eligible activities, and intended
outcomes and outputs for the One-Year IHP. The recipient can select any combination of activities
eligible under NAHASDA and intended outcomes and outputs that are based on local needs and
priorities. There is no maximum or minimum number of eligible activities or intended outcomes and
outputs. Rather, the One-Year IHP should include a sufficient number of eligible activities and
intended outcomes to fully describe any tasks that the recipient intends to fund in whole or in part with
IHBG resources during the coming program year.
Subtitle B of NAHASDA authorizes recipients to establish a program for self-determined housing
activities involving construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, or infrastructure relating to housing
activities or housing that will benefit the low-income households served by the Indian tribe. A
recipient may use up to 20 percent of its annual allocation, but not more than $2 Million, for this
program. Section 233(a) of NAHASDA requires a recipient to include its planned self-determination
program activities in the IHP, and Section 235(c) requires the recipient to report the expenditures,
outputs, and outcomes for its self-determination program in the APR. For more information, see PIH
Notice 2010-35 (Demonstration Program - Self-Determined Housing Activities for Tribal
Governments) at
The One-Year IHP is not required to include eligible activities or intended outcomes and outputs that
will not receive IHBG resources. For example, the recipient may be planning to apply for Low Income
Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) from its state. If those tax credit projects will not receive IHBG
resources, they are not required to be described in the IHP. However, the recipient may wish to
