- Description:
- The Housing Authority of the Chickasaw Nation is expressing concerns about delays and problems in the Indian housing program, specifically related to the application process and approval requirements set by HUD. They feel that the focus should be on expediting the process to provide safe and decent housing for deserving families, rather than on administrative issues. They also highlight the negative impact of new requirements in the Mutual-Help Handbook, which they believe will further delay the delivery of housing. The authority outlines specific problems and delays in the current system in Oklahoma and expresses frustration with the lack of consideration for tribal needs in the application process. They also detail the difficulties faced in the approval process and negotiation of prices for housing units. Overall, they are advocating for a more efficient and streamlined approach to providing Indian housing.
