There is authorized to be appropriated for carrying out the Native American housing block grant program under title I of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 ( 25 U.S.C. 4111 et seq. ) $2,000,000,000, of which $50,000,000 shall be available only for the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant program, as authorized under title VIII of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self- Determination Act of 1996 ( 25 U.S.C. 4221 et seq. ). Any amounts made available pursuant to this section shall remain available until expended.
Not less than 15 percent of all amounts made available pursuant to this section shall be used only for activities relating to climate and natural disaster resilience and water and energy efficiency and, at the Secretary’s discretion, other strategies to enhance the environmental sustainability of housing production and design. The Secretary shall withhold all or partial funds to a tribe or tribal entity under this section if, after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior and the tribe, the Secretary determines prior to disbursement that the tribe is not in compliance with obligations under its 1866 treaty with the United States as it relates to the inclusion of persons who are lineal descendants of Freedmen as having the rights of the citizens of such tribes, unless a Federal court has issued a final order that determines the treaty obligations with respect to including Freedmen as citizens.
For purposes of this subsection, a court order is not considered final if time remains for an appeal or application for discretionary review with respect to the order.
