HELPFUL RESOURCE: Remaining Recovery Act Opportunities Through USDA Rural Development
On May 18, NCAI hosted a webinar with Janie Hipp, Senior Advisor to Secretary Vilsack, Tribal Relations, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Tedd Buelow, Native American Coordinator, USDA Rural Development, and others from USDA to discuss remaining opportunities for tribes to access USDA Recovery Act funds.
USDA staff prepared an excellent Powerpoint presentation to share with tribal representatives information regarding remaining opportunities to access Recovery Act funding through the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) for Technical Assistance, Community Facilities Loans and Grants, Single Family Housing Loans and the Water and Environmental Programs. The slides used in that presentation are available here:
