About this opportunity

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $28.5 million in Tribal Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (Tribal HHAP) grant funding. These funds are available for California Federally Recognized Tribes and are designed to be flexible to meet the unique needs of each community in their goals to prevent and end homelessness. Tribal HHAP is a dedicated Tribal set-aside within the broader Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program developed specifically for—and in partnership with—California Federally Recognized Tribes. Through direct consultation and feedback, HCD aims to continue improving access, alignment, and culturally responsive implementation of these funds. Per statute, all California Federally Recognized Tribes that apply will receive funding. The grant is provided to awardees up-front. No matching funds are required. The Tribal HHAP 4 Program is flexible and eligible activities span four broad categories: permanent housing solutions, interim housing solutions, homelessness prevention, and non-housing solutions; applicants are encouraged to be creative and propose activities that suit the needs of their tribal communities. More details regarding eligible uses can be found in the Tribal HHAP 4 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). An Eligible Uses Guide is also available and provides real-world examples from past grantees. Applications are submitted online and are due January 30th, 2026 at 5:00pm.
