What
is IHBG Formula? Funds
appropriated by Congress for the Indian Housing Block Grant Program (IHBG) are
made available to eligible grant recipients through a formula. Regulations governing
the formula can be found at 24
CFR Part 1000, Subpart D. On April 20, 2007, the Native American Housing Assistance
and Self Determination Final Rule was published revising the IHBG Formula. In
brief, the formula has two components; Need and Formula Current Assisted Stock.
The Need component considers population, income, and housing conditions. The Formula
Current Assisted Stock component reflects housing developed under the United States
Housing Act (the predecessor of the IHBG program) which is owned and/or operated
by the IHBG recipient and provides funds for ongoing operation of the housing. An
Indian tribe may challenge the Need portion of the IHBG formula provided the data
are gathered, evaluated, and presented in a manner that is fair and equitable
for all participating tribes. Tribes have until March 30 of each year to submit
challenges to their Needs data in consideration for the upcoming fiscal year.
Guidelines for submitting challenges are provided in the document, "Challenging
U.S. Decennial Census Data" and the following Appendices:
HUD
has until August 1 of each fiscal year to report to recipients their annual IHBG
estimated allocation and the data used to compute the estimated allocation. The
Formula Response Form (FRF) is designated by 24 CFR 1000.302 as the form recipients
use to report data changes to HUD. It is the recipients' responsibility to report
any discrepancies or changes in their IHBG data to HUD. Tribes have until September
15th of each year to submit corrections to Formula Current Assisted Stock, Formula
Area, Population Cap and Overlapping Formula Area data in consideration for the
upcoming fiscal year. In accordance with §1000.315 the FRF is the only mechanism
that a recipient shall use to report changes to the number of FCAS.
