Submission of this information allows BIA to determine applicant eligibility for housing services based upon the criteria referenced in 25 CFR 256.9 (repairs and renovation assistance) and 256.10 (replacement housing assistance). Enrolled members of federally recognized tribes, who live within a tribeâs designated and approved service area, submit information on an application form. The information is collected on a BIA Form 6407, âHousing Assistance Application,â and includes: applicant information; family information including; income information; housing information including; land information; general information; and an applicant certification including.

The Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) Reporting Form is a tool created to simplify the process for the tribal servicing housing office to report the amount of administrative and construction funds spent each quarter of the first fiscal year after receipt of HIP funding.
