They have proposed administrative changes, including giving tribes coordinating responsibilities for all housing programs, establishing an Assistant Secretary of Indian Programs at HUD, and allocating a minimum of 10,000 units for Indian housing. They stress the importance of deep subsidy programs and regular congressional hearings to address the unique challenges faced by Indian communities. Ultimately, they emphasize the need to fulfill the promise of decent housing for all, including the first Americans.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
