Grants for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals (Short Title: GBHI)

Additional Information of Eligibility:
Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities.

For example: • Local governments; • Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes, tribal organizations, Urban Indian Organizations (UIO), and consortia of tribes or tribal organizations; • Public or private universities and colleges; and • Community- and faith-based organizations.

Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of AI/ANs which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body, or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of AI/ANs in all phases of its activities.

Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.

A single tribe in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.

UIO (as identified by the Office of Indian Health Service Urban Indian Health Programs through active Title V grants/contracts) means a non-profit corporate body situated in an urban center governed by an urban Indian-controlled board of directors, and providing for the maximum participation of all interested individuals and groups, which body is capable of legally cooperating with other public and private entities for the purpose of performing the activities described in 25 U.S.C.

1653(a).

UIOs are not tribes or tribal governments and do not have the same consultation rights or trust relationship with the federal government.

SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact and geographical distribution of its targeted homeless programs.

Therefore, grantees awarded in FY 2015 for Grants for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals – Services in Supportive Housing (GBHI-SSH) and FY 2016 and FY 2017 Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI) are not eligible to apply.

Additionally, the statutory authority for this program states that these grants must be made to community-based public and private non-profit entities.

Therefore, states are not eligible to apply.
