The ARP Act provides an additional $85 million to support Native Hawaiians and Native Hawaiian communities that have been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic by funding innovative projects that are distinct from the projects previously funded under the NHE program. These projects must include one or more of the activities authorized under section 6205(a)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA). New grantees may propose projects that address current needs in the Native Hawaiian community in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing grantees may propose either new projects to address newly identified needs in response to COVID-19 or projects that build on and leverage current NHE-funded activities to address the additional impacts of COVID-19. Although there are many types of activities authorized under section 6205(a)(3) of the ESEA, NHE ARP program funding may not be used for the acquisition of real property or construction under 34 CFR 75.533. However, this general prohibition on construction and acquisition of real property does not extend to activities that meet the definition of “minor remodeling” under 34 CFR 77.1. For more information, see the Funding Restrictions section of this notice. Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 84.362A
