Selection criteria go out with the funding notice, and tribal set-asides are allowed
What the document says“Any grant made under this section shall be made pursuant to criteria for selection of recipients of such grants that the Secretary shall by regulation establish and publish together with any notification of availability of amounts under this section.”
The new section 123 requires every grant to be made under selection criteria the Secretary establishes by regulation and publishes with any notice that money is available, and lets the Secretary set aside funds for grants to Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
What the document actually says“Any grant made under this section shall be made pursuant to criteria for selection of recipients of such grants that the Secretary shall by regulation establish and publish together with any notification of availability of amounts under this section.”
Every grant must follow set rules for choosing who gets one. The housing agency writes those rules. It must publish them with the notice that money is there.
A set-aside is money kept back for one group. The agency may hold some back for tribes. It may also hold some for a Hawaiian land office.
