Tribal Housing Innovation Act

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development to set up, within one year, a competitive grant program for Indian Tribes and Tribally designated housing entities. Grants would pay to build homes on Tribal land that have at least one sustainable feature, or to add such features to existing homes. Sustainable features include items like heat pumps, solar panels, insulation, energy-efficient windows and appliances, and smart thermostats. Homes built or changed with the grants could only be rented to members of the Tribe served, and grant recipients would file yearly reports. The bill authorizes $150 million per year starting in fiscal year 2025.
