As part of its implementation of EO 13985, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is conducting virtual listening sessions and inviting public comments to obtain input on barriers that underserved communities and individuals may face related to Tribal discretionary grants. By addressing barriers to applying for and accessing DOI discretionary grants, the Department can better support Tribes in improving government infrastructure, community infrastructure, education, job training, climate adaptation planning and implementation capacity, and employment opportunities along with other components of long-term sustainable development that work to improve quality of life for their members. See the DOI Office of Policy Analysis EO 13985 page for more information and registration for the listening sessions.
