What is the process for collaborating with BIA to obtain HURF funds? Partnering agreements?
The BIA, tribe, State, or county will need to determine and negotiate both the project and the collaboration process when HURF funds are involved. Arizona State HURF funds are only available to State, county, or municipalities but there are opportunities for the tribes to work with the State and the BIA to possibly access some of the HURF funds under specific conditions. However, this process is cumbersome and as a result, very few projects have used state HURF funding.
