In each APICDA community, the City, Tribe and/or Village Corporation is eligible to apply for the Community Development Grant Program for an amount determined yearly by APICDA’s board of directors.

The CDGP provides a resource to APICDA communities of direct financial support and assists with leveraging additional funding for priority initiatives. Each APICDA community has developed a Community Development Plan identifying goals for the community. This program assists communities in accomplishing their community development goals.

False Pass built this residential duplex to attract new families to their community with APICDA's Community Development Grant Program funding. The lack of family housing in their community directly affected the stability of their school due to low enrollment. False Pass now has the ability to welcome new families to ensure their school remains open, which also encourages established families to stay. Addressing the lack of housing has been a community priority for a long time.
