AAHA will host a two (2) day training on Grant Writing for Tribal Housing Programs and Tribally Designated Housing Entities. Attendees will learn how to research project grant opportunities (through HUD, USDA, DOE, BIA and other funders), how to demonstrate compliance with federal regulations and how to create a proposal work flow. They will be guided through the process of crafting a comprehensive project narrative. Attendees will also learn to prepare an abstract and key proposal attachments like budget forms, narratives and professional ethics statements. The training will focus on Alaska-based case studies that reflect best practices for finding and leveraging funds to finance and complete projects.
