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

Hello Tribal Partners,
Due to overwhelming demand we had some technical difficulties with our ARP State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Tribal Information Session and that many people were not able to benefit from the information. We’ve added a second session on Tuesday, May 18, 20201 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern. The new platform will host a large number of people with less technological difficulties. We will be sending the new opportunity to participate to those that registered yesterday but we would appreciate you broadcasting this opportunity to your membership and networks.
As always, we value your partnership and appreciate you help in getting the word out.
Best regards,
Nancy Montoya
Treasury Tribal Affairs Program Coordinator

5/18 Message to the COVID-19 Community Corps:
Last week, the Pfizer vaccine became available for adolescents 12 through 15 years of age – a big next step in our mission to get America vaccinated and keep us all protected.
Tomorrow, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy will host a roundtable discussion for parent-focused trusted messenger groups to uplift the collective efforts already underway to address adolescent and parent vaccine confidence and to ask these groups to commit to efforts in their own networks.
Have a question about vaccine outreach to parents? Submit your question here for the roundtable event.
The goal of this call is to provide and facilitate knowledge sharing, to activate new trusted messengers and groups in their communities, and to share a call to action for how we'll overcome this pandemic.
Trusted messenger groups will receive latest scientific and medical updates, toolkits, and resources to support vaccine confidence efforts. The discussion will include parent advocacy groups, educators, bloggers, youth groups, faith leaders, and media groups.
We look forward to you joining this conversation.
