He discussed the lack of accurate data on Indian housing needs, challenges in adapting national housing programs to Indian housing, and efforts made by HUD to meet these needs. These efforts included creating Indian public housing authorities, developing the mutual help Indian housing program, and inducing private enterprise participation in building on Indian reservations.
