Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This HUD notice explains the process for Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) recipients to request approval of 'model activities' — housing activities not explicitly listed in NAHASDA Section 202. It describes how to submit a Model Activity Request (MAR) either separately or within an Indian Housing Plan, HUD's review timeline, and conditions that apply once activities are approved. It also clarifies which commonly requested activities already fall under existing eligible categories and don't need separate approval, and outlines reconsideration and appeal rights if a request is denied.
