For FY 2015, Congress established a set aside of funds specifically for the remediation and prevention of mold in tribal housing.
The FY 2015 awards announced in this Notice were selected for funding in competitions posted on HUD's Web site on April 16, 2015, and August 28, 2015, respectively. Applications were scored and selected for funding based on the selection criteria in those notices.
