IHBG grant amounts may be used only for the affordable housing activities listed in section 202 of NAHASDA

ihbg.financial.eligible_affordable_housing_activities · v1.0.0

Eligible affordable housing activities are those described in section 202 of NAHASDA (25 U.S.C. 4132): Indian housing assistance (modernization or operating assistance for housing previously developed or operated under a contract between the Secretary and an Indian housing authority); development (acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, or moderate or substantial rehabilitation of affordable housing, which may include real property acquisition, site improvement, development and rehabilitation of utilities, necessary infrastructure and utility services, conversion, demolition, financing, administration and planning, improvement to achieve greater energy efficiency, mold remediation, and other related activities); housing services; housing management services; crime prevention and safety activities; model activities specifically approved by the Secretary; the two statutory demonstration-project studies; and deposits to a reserve account for administration and planning. A reserve account may hold not more than an amount equal to one quarter of the five-year average of the annual amount the recipient used for administration and planning.

24 CFR 1000.122 confirms that IHBG funds may be used as matching funds for other programmes without ceasing to be an affordable housing activity, which matters wherever an IHBG property also carries LIHTC, HOME or USDA RD funds.
