announced $4 million allowed for Tribal HUD-VASH awards; however, 
additional funds became available and awarded. Applicants were invited 
to apply for the demonstration program, and were evaluated based on the 
criteria contained in the notice.
    For Fiscal Year 2015, 26 awards totaling $5,878,516 were awarded to 
26 tribes/tribally designated housing entities nationwide. In
