Temporary federal funding law runs through Dec. 11, 2026

National American Indian Housing Council: newsAppropriationsSep 18, 2026

Check: Congress and the President have enacted a temporary funding law (a , which keeps government operations funded at existing levels until a full-year bill passes) that funds the federal government through December 11, 2026.

Read the original

What it does

The measure applies government-wide, so federal agencies that fund tribal programs operate under this temporary law until December 11, 2026, rather than under a full-year appropriation. Tribal governments, tribal colleges, and Native-serving organizations with federally funded awards should plan around that end date.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Indirect. It does not name tribes, but it changes a program or rule that tribal grantees use.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.

What to do next

  1. Identify open federal awards whose funding runs past 2026-12-11 and note which depend on a full-year appropriation for continued payments.
