How can USDA Rural Development address my community specific needs?
Tribal communities are an integral part of rural America. They have unique assets and face unique challenges and needs. To respond to these needs, USDA Rural Development has funding available specifically for federally recognized tribes, Alaska Native Villages and tribal colleges. USDA Rural Development also has an American Indian/Alaska Native Coordinator in each state with federally or state-recognized tribes to help tribal customers access Rural Development many programs and resources. American Indian/Alaska Native Coordinators and other Rural Development specialists are available to assist customers with completing the necessary paperwork and requirements to obtain funding.
