SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD invited applicants to submit proposals 
for funding that encouraged the use of sustainable construction 
practices in Native American housing. Proposals were to take into 
account the multiple geographic, economic and cultural aspects of 
Native American residential design and construction. HUD sought 
applications in four broad areas: demonstration; technical assistance; 
curriculum development/training; and information dissemination related 
to sustainable construction in the Native Community. Activities 
performed under the Sustainable Construction in Indian Country Small 
Grant Program should document the impact of one or more innovative 
approaches to sustainable construction in Indian Country, identify a 
set of lessons learned, and then develop, deploy or distribute a tool 
highlighting those lessons. Grants could range from $50,000 to 
$100,000. Grants are awarded for up to a two-year period.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.525.
    On February 5, 2013, HUD posted a Notice of Funds Availability 
(NOFA) for the Fiscal Year 2012 Transformation Initiative: Sustainable 
Construction in Indian Country Small Grant Program on Grants.gov. The 
Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received 
based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded the 
applications announced below, and in accordance with Section 
102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform
