A resolution making its way through the Navajo Nation tribal council would approve $105,000 to help with homeless tribal members in Farmington, New Mexico.

Virginia Bitsilly, who works for the Affordable Housing Alliance for Homeless People, is lobbying for the money. She says the tribe has ignored problems of tribal members who go to Farmington to find work.

The money would be administered through the Farmington Intertribal Indian Organization and would be used to help families pay first month rent and deposit on housing.
