Tribes across the nation will lose millions in housing money due to cuts by the Bush administration.
The White House's 2006 budget reduced Indian housing by more than $100 million. One of the cuts came to a program that President Bush said was "working."
The Navajo Nation stands to lose $14 million in 2006, the Navajo Housing Authority said in a report. The authority says it has already lost over $10 million under the Bush administration.
