The nation’s largest Indian housing organization is welcoming progress on a bill to reauthorize the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act.
The National American Indian Housing Council has been asking Congress to renew NAHASDA ever since the law expired in 2013. A bill to do just that was advanced by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on Wednesday.
“The National American Indian Housing Council is pleased that the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is taking action and reporting the NAHASDA reauthorization bill to the full Senate,” Adrian Stevens, the acting chair of the organization, said on Thursday.
“The Council thanks Senators Schatz and Murkowski for reviving efforts to finally get NAHASDA reauthorized as the program celebrates 25 years of success,” Stevens said of Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the chair and vice chair, respectively, of the legislative committee with jurisdiction over Indian issues.
