Dear Tribal Leader:
As the Point of Contact for Tribal Consultation for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, I invite you to attend a Tribal consultation on the State Small Business Credit Initiative Program (SSBCI) for Tribes.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides $500,000,000 to be allocated among federally recognized Tribal governments in the proportion the Secretary determines appropriate, including consideration of available employment and economic data for each Tribal government. These funds will be used be Tribes to support financing for small businesses.
The deadline for submitting a Notice of Intent to apply is June 11, 2021. The Notice of Intent (NOI) to apply and instructions for submitting the NOI will be sent to Tribal contacts in the near future.
Applications for the SSBCI Program are due to Treasury by December 11, 2021. (Application forms forthcoming.)
To help facilitate a better understanding of the SSBCI Program for Tribes, Treasury will host an information session on Thursday, May 13, 2021 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET. Tribal leaders and stakeholders can register here: https://ustreasury.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJItce-gqTwuHKd8QMG6GxdDYY00uZhubtY
