The Tribal Housing Innovation Act directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish a competitive grant program that provides funding to Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities to build new homes or improve existing ones with sustainable features—such as solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, heat pumps, smart thermostats, and improved insulation. The bill authorizes $150 million annually for this purpose, with the program to be established within one year of enactment. Housing units funded through the grants must be made available for rent or ownership only to Native American tribal members served by the eligible entities. The legislation requires grantees to submit annual progress reports detailing how many homes were built or modified and what sustainable features were installed, while the HUD Secretary must report to Congress yearly on the program's national impact.
