The Biden administration is making sure tribes get connected to the historic funding available for infrastructure in Indian Country.
With the release of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Tribal Playbook on Tuesday, tribes have a roadmap for accessing the $13 billion in set asides to improve water, internet, transportation and other initiatives in their communities. Working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the White House has identified a little over 150 programs where tribes can apply for funding to address long underfunded needs.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law specifically includes provisions that set aside over $13 billion in funds and other resources for tribal communities,” Mitch Landrieu, the Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator at the White House said on a press call in the afternoon.
“Beyond what is set aside, tribes are also eligible to apply for billions of dollars in competitive program.”
“Together this is going to be the largest investment in tribal infrastructure in American history,” said Landrieu.
