At least 28 tribes are suing the Department of Housing and Urban Development over their housing block grants.
The tribes say they haven't received enough money for lower income housing. They say they have been shortchanged by at least $46 million.
The tribes had to file suit within 45 days of the enactment of H.R.2786,
the reauthorization of the Native
American Housing and Self-Determination Act that was signed into law last
month. The law changed a formula that affects the block grants.
Some tribes filed suit before the law was passed.
