No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section establishes the short title of the Act as the “Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Modernization Act of 2026” and sets forth the table of contents.
This section establishes definitions for purposes of the Act. It defines "Hawaiian Home Lands" as lands that have the status as Hawaiian home lands under section 204 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 110), or are acquired pursuant to that Act (i.e., approximately 200,000 acres set aside for long-term lease to Native Hawaiians for homesteading); defines "Native Hawaiian" as any U.S. citizen who is a descendant of the aboriginal people who, prior to 1778, occupied and exercised sovereignty in the area that currently constitutes the State of Hawaii, as evidenced by genealogical records, verification by kupuna (elders) or kama'aina (long-term community residents), or birth records of the State of Hawaii; and specifies "Secretary" as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The section adopts existing statutory definitions for Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (from the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 [NAHASDA], 25 U.S.C. 4221), domestic violence (Violence Against Women Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. 12291(a)), federally recognized tribe, Indian area, Indian tribe, and tribally designated housing entity (NAHASDA, 25 U.S.C. 4103), homeless youth (Runaway and Homeless Youth Act, 34 U.S.C. 11279), Native Hawaiian organization and Native Hawaiian community-based organization (Native Hawaiian Education Act, 20 U.S.C. 7517), and tribal organization (Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, 25 U.S.C. 5304).
This section directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), notwithstanding requirements of the Community Compass Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Program (i.e., HUD's program providing technical assistance to grantees), to grant maximum flexibility and deference to Indian tribes or tribally designated housing entities (under section 101 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996) and to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands or its subrecipients (under section 802 of that Act) in determining allowable uses of requested technical assistance funding.
This section revises environmental review requirements in Section 105 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) by (1) authorizing a tribally designated housing entity official, in addition to a tribe, to perform certifications under subsection (c)(2); (2) requiring the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to act on waiver requests under subsection (d) within 60 days of receipt; and (3) adding subsections (e) and (f). Subsection (e) deems an Indian tribe, recipient, or Director of the Department of Hawaiian Homelands in compliance with NAHASDA environmental reviews, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) requirements, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for a housing project if additional federal funding sources constitute no more than 49% of the federal share and the tribe or Director has assumed all environmental review responsibilities; upon completion of such a consolidated review, no other federal agency is required to conduct a separate review absent material project changes. Subsection (f) exempts specified low-impact activities from environmental review (e.g., affordable housing developments costing $250,000 or less; rehabilitation costing less than 50% of a structure's pre-rehabilitation market value without ground disturbance or historic structure impacts); authorizes tribes to determine exemptions; prohibits the Secretary from requiring radon testing or consideration; and requires lead paint testing for target housing (i.e., pre-1978 housing with potential lead-based paint hazards) in remote areas (i.e., ZIP codes designated level 1 by USDA) undergoing rehabilitation, renovation, repair, or painting that disturbs painted surfaces to be conducted through simplified methods. (As background, NAHASDA provides formula block grants to Indian tribes for affordable housing development and management, with environmental reviews mirroring CDBG processes delegated to tribes.)
This section reauthorizes appropriations for block grants under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA)—which provides formula funding to Indian tribes for affordable housing development, management, and related activities—through FY2033 (from FY2013).
This section revises eligibility criteria under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA)—which provides block grants to tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations for affordable housing activities primarily serving low-income families—as follows: (1) in section 201(b)(3), authorizes recipients to provide housing or assistance to "essential families" on Indian areas whose presence is essential to Indian families' well-being and whose needs cannot otherwise be met, and homeownership assistance under sections 202 or VI to Indian families with incomes up to 120% of area median income (with such housing deemed affordable housing), limited to 50% of annual grants; and (2) in section 809(a)(2)(B), authorizes the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant program to provide homeownership assistance under section 810(b) to Native Hawaiian families with incomes up to 120% of area median income (deemed affordable housing and limited to 50% of grants) or loan guarantees under section 184A of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-13b) to non-low-income Native Hawaiian families addressing unmet housing needs.
This section expands eligible housing services under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA)—which provides block grants to Indian tribes for affordable rental and homeownership housing—to expressly include college housing assistance within self-sufficiency and other services.
This section modifies rent requirements under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) by (1) limiting the 30% cap on monthly rent or homebuyer payments for low-income families to dwelling units owned or operated by a recipient (i.e., Indian tribe or tribally designated housing entity) and assisted with NAHASDA grant amounts; and (2) authorizing recipients to establish their own written and publicly available policies governing maximum and minimum rents and homebuyer payments for NAHASDA-assisted dwelling units, including amounts exceeding 30% of monthly adjusted income. (Thus, tribes gain flexibility to set rents above the previous cap, which NAHASDA grants support for developing, maintaining, and operating affordable tribal housing.)
This section increases the de minimis exemption threshold for procurement of goods and services by recipients under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 to 150 percent of the federal micro-purchase threshold under 2 CFR 200.320 (i.e., $15,000, from $5,000).
This section authorizes recipients under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) to adopt their own written and publicly available policies and procedures for procuring goods and services using NAHASDA grant amounts (notwithstanding other laws, including existing subsection (g)), which they must follow. If a recipient does not adopt such policies, it must follow procurement standards applicable to Indian tribes under 2 CFR § 200.317 (or successor regulation).
This section establishes a total development cost limit for affordable housing developed, acquired, or assisted under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) block grant program (i.e., under section 101), prohibiting costs exceeding by more than 20% the total development cost maximum cost without prior approval from the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for all such housing, including under development and model activities. (Thus, NAHASDA recipients—typically Indian tribes or tribally designated housing entities—must adhere to this cost cap or seek a waiver to use block grant funds.)
This section amends the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA)—which provides block grants to Indian tribes for rental, homeownership, and related housing activities—to revise low-income requirements and long-term affordability commitments as follows: (1) permits rental housing to be made available for conversion to homeownership or lease-purchase exclusively by the current rental family if that family was low-income at initial occupancy, in the affordable housing definition (sec. 205(a)(1)) and model housing income targeting provisions (sec. 813(a)(1)); and (2) exempts improvements to privately owned homes costing 10% or less of the maximum total development cost from binding commitments to maintain affordability for the remaining useful life of the property (or other Secretary-determined period), in sec. 205(c) and sec. 813(a).
This section establishes a new subsection (c) requiring that the lease termination notice period specified in subsection (a)(3)—i.e., adequate written notice as required under State, tribal, or local law—apply to projects and programs funded in part by amounts authorized under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). (Thus, the requirement, which previously applied only to affordable housing directly assisted with NAHASDA grant amounts, now extends to partially funded projects.)
This section establishes a housing counseling certification exemption under section 106(g)(1) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701x(g)(1)) for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, tribally designated housing entities, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands when providing homeownership or rental housing counseling under section 105(a)(20) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5305(a)(20)), section 202(3), or section 810(b)(2)(A) of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). (Thus, these entities are not required to obtain certification from the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for such counseling, though they may do so voluntarily.) It also makes a conforming amendment to the NAHASDA table of contents.
This section revises HUD's procedures under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA)—which provides block grants to Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities for affordable housing activities—to immediately limit, prior to a hearing, payments to programs unaffected by a recipient's substantial noncompliance resulting in unauthorized federal expenditures (adding "immediately" to current authority). It replaces the prior requirement for an automatic hearing within 60 days of notice with new procedures requiring (1) notice at the time of action informing the recipient of the right to request a hearing within 30 days; (2) any requested hearing to be conducted in accordance with 24 CFR part 26 subpart A (or successor regulations) and, to the maximum extent practicable, on an expedited basis; and (3) automatic termination of the payment limitation if the hearing is not completed within 180 days of the request.
This section establishes consolidated reporting for Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). It requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to develop policies and procedures authorizing such entities, at their discretion and notwithstanding any other provision of law, to submit one consolidated annual performance report covering all grants received under NAHASDA and other grant programs administered by the Secretary. (Thus, eligible entities may consolidate reporting requirements across multiple HUD programs, including the annual performance reports previously required under NAHASDA.)
This section revises annual reporting requirements under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA)—which provides block grants to Native American tribes for affordable housing activities—in sections 407 and 823 as follows: (1) in each section's subsection (a), extends the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development's deadline for submitting the report on program progress, fund uses, and loan guarantees from 90 days to 180 days after each fiscal year and directs submission to the Senate Committees on Indian Affairs and Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services (from Congress); and (2) in each section, adds a new subsection (c) requiring public availability of the report, including to grant recipients.
This section increases the maximum term for leases of trust or restricted Indian lands—whether tribally- or individually-owned—for housing development and residential purposes, subject to approval by the affected Indian tribe and the Secretary of the Interior, to 99 years (from 50 years). It makes conforming changes to the section heading and the rule of construction preserving other lease authorities exceeding that term.
This section establishes a coordination requirement between the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Secretary of Defense, Indian tribes, and tribally designated housing entities—recipients of formula and competitive block grants under title I of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA), which funds tribal affordable housing development and operations—to maximize benefits from the Department of Defense’s Innovative Readiness Training Program (IRT). (The IRT provides military training through civil engineering and construction projects, often in underserved communities.) Such coordination requires (1) a joint memorandum of understanding between HUD and DoD to streamline identification of suitable NAHASDA projects; (2) synchronization of project planning and execution with tribes’ housing plans under NAHASDA section 102; and (3) communication of best practices to tribes, including guidance on IRT project eligibility and applications.
This section authorizes the Director of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to make subawards, notwithstanding any other provision of law including state competitive procurement requirements, to subrecipients other than for-profit entities using Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant Program funds for affordable housing activities, upon the Director's determination that such subrecipients have adequate capacity to carry out the activities in accordance with the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996. (Thus, this enables non-competitive subawards to qualified nonprofits and other entities to implement approved housing plans for Native Hawaiian families eligible to reside on Hawaiian Home Lands.)
This section reauthorizes appropriations for Native Hawaiian housing block grants through FY2033 (from FY2005). (The program provides formula block grants to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing for low-income Native Hawaiians.)
This section authorizes an Indian tribe, or a tribal organization or tribally designated housing entity designated by the tribe, receiving a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) under section 106(a)(1) (i.e., formula grants to Indian tribes) to (1) directly carry out activities described in section 106(a)(15), including new construction of affordable housing, and (2) use any percentage of the grant for such activities without limitation.
This section expands eligibility for housing counseling grants under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 to include Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) in addition to previously eligible entities such as nonprofit organizations and state, local, and public housing agencies. It defines those terms by reference to the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (i.e., Indian tribe means any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community recognized as eligible for services by the U.S. Department of the Interior; TDHE means an entity designated by an Indian tribe to act on its behalf under that Act).
This section revises the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee program (i.e., HUD program guaranteeing up to 100% of mortgage loans to eligible Native American families, tribes, housing authorities, and tribally designated housing entities to acquire, construct, refinance, or rehabilitate homes on trust land or fee simple land) as follows: (1) updates the authority statement to explicitly encompass tribally designated housing entities and fee simple lands; (2) limits eligible housing to 1- to 4-family dwellings that are standard housing; (3) expands eligible lenders to include federally supervised or insured lenders and community development financial institutions, and authorizes (subject to resources) delegation of direct endorsement authority to such lenders with indemnification requirements for origination defects, fraud, or misrepresentation; (4) permits loan terms up to 40 years for modifications under subsection (h)(1)(B); (5) requires periodic reviews of lenders' performance, including comparisons of default and claim rates; (6) excepts direct endorsement loans from standard pre-endorsement review and issuance requirements, allowing lenders to issue guarantee certificates; and (7) defines "tribally designated housing entity." This section also authorizes appropriations of such sums as necessary for the program's administrative costs for FY2027 through FY2033.
This section revises the Native Hawaiian Housing Loan Guarantee Program (i.e., Section 184A program, under which HUD guarantees loans to Native Hawaiian families for constructing, acquiring, or rehabilitating housing). Specifically, it (1) expands the program's purpose to include homeownership opportunities for Native Hawaiian families eligible for homesteads under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920 on fee-simple lands in Hawaii; (2) revises eligible housing to cover loans used to construct, acquire, refinance, or rehabilitate 1- to 4-family standard dwellings; (3) expands eligible lenders to include any federally supervised, approved, regulated, or insured lender (including certified community development financial institutions) and authorizes the Secretary to delegate direct guarantee endorsement authority to such lenders (with related indemnification requirements for origination violations, fraud, or misrepresentation); (4) permits loan terms up to 40 years (previously without stated maximum) in cases of loan modification; (5) requires periodic lender reviews comparing performance on defaults, claims, underwriting quality, and other default risk factors, with authority to terminate lender approvals presenting unacceptable risk to the Hawaiian Housing Loan Guarantee Fund; and (6) authorizes appropriations of such sums as necessary for administrative costs in FY2027 through FY2033.
This section establishes the Tribal HUD-VASH program (i.e., a rental assistance and supportive housing program modeled on the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program) by requiring the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to use at least 5% of tenant-based rental assistance funds available under Section 8(o)(19) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 for grants to eligible recipients under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). (As background, HUD-VASH provides project-based or tenant-based rental vouchers to homeless veterans, coordinated with Department of Veterans Affairs case management and supportive services.) The program targets eligible Indian veterans who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness and living on or near a reservation or in an Indian area; grants are awarded based on need, administrative capacity, and other HUD criteria, administered per NAHASDA with required reporting, and eligible for renewal; HUD and VA Secretaries may make modifications after tribal consultation, waive non-labor/environmental requirements, and coordinate with Indian Health Service and tribal organizations; and HUD must submit implementation reports to Congress one year after enactment and every five years thereafter.
This section amends Title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.), which authorizes the Continuum of Care program to fund housing and services for homeless individuals and families, to facilitate participation by Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs, as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103)). Specifically, the section (1) adds a definition of TDHE to section 401; (2) includes Indian tribes and TDHEs as eligible grantees in section 423(g); and (3) revises section 435 to expand eligible entities, provide civil rights exemptions from Titles VI and VIII of the Civil Rights Acts for specified tribal projects (i.e., those on/off reservation or trust lands awarded to tribes or TDHEs, or Tribal projects in Indian Housing Block Grant formula areas), require certifications of consistency with approved tribal housing plans under NAHASDA section 102 (25 U.S.C. 4112) for projects on reservations or trust lands, exempt collaborative applicants covering only such lands from consolidated planning requirements, authorize the Secretary to waive non-labor and non-environmental statutory or regulatory provisions to enable tribal/TDHE participation or expedite fund use, and treat tribal projects as special projects under the environmental review procedures of section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 3547) (with tribes considered states for this purpose).
This section exempts from Build America, Buy America Act requirements (i.e., domestic content preferences for iron, steel, and manufactured products in federally assisted infrastructure projects) any programs, projects, or activities receiving federal financial assistance from the Secretary administered to Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, tribal organizations, or the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. (Thus, such recipients may use foreign-sourced materials without restriction under those programs.)
This section prohibits the negotiated rulemaking process under section 106(b)(2)(C) of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA; 25 U.S.C. 4116), as initiated by the Secretary immediately following enactment of this Act, from including any changes to the regulations governing the NAHASDA block grant allocation formula (i.e., the needs-based formula under section 302 that divides annual appropriations among eligible Indian tribes). Subsection (b) clarifies that this limitation does not restrict the Secretary's authority to revise those regulations by other means.
This section establishes a pilot Tribal Homeless Assistance Program under which the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) may use up to 5% of amounts available each fiscal year for grants under title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.)—which funds Continuum of Care programs for homeless assistance—to award grants to Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, or tribal organizations for housing and supportive services for homeless or at-risk tribal members (as defined in 42 U.S.C. 11302 and 11360). The program is modeled on the rental assistance and supportive housing program for homeless Native American veterans under section 8(o)(19) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(19)); requires grant applicants to provide two years of case management via specified partnerships; prioritizes homeless youth, families with children, and domestic violence survivors; awards grants based on need, administrative capacity, and other Secretary-determined criteria developed in consultation with the Indian Health Service (IHS) and eligible recipients; is administered under the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) with HUD waiver authority for non-core requirements; and authorizes renewal grants with data-reporting criteria. Not later than two years after enactment of this Act—and every five years thereafter—HUD, in coordination with IHS, must submit to Congress a report on program implementation, including barriers.
This section establishes a pilot program, the Native Hawaiian Homeless Assistance Program, under which the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may use up to 1% of amounts available each fiscal year for grants under title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360 et seq.) to award grants to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Native Hawaiian organizations, or Native Hawaiian community-based organizations for housing assistance and supportive services benefiting homeless or at-risk Native Hawaiians (as defined in 42 U.S.C. 11302 and 11360) in Hawaii. The program is modeled on the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) rental assistance program for Native American veterans (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(19)); requires applicants to describe partnerships providing two years of mandatory case management; prioritizes homeless youth, families with children, and domestic violence survivors; and bases awards on need, administrative capacity, and other Secretary-established criteria developed in consultation with the Department of the Interior's Office of Native Hawaiian Relations. The program is administered pursuant to the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) with specified waiver and alternative requirements authority (except for fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, and environmental protections); allows set-asides for renewal grants with data-reporting criteria; and directs the Secretary, in coordination with the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations, to submit to Congress a report on implementation and barriers not later than two years after enactment and every five years thereafter.
This section establishes the Tribal and Rural Continuum of Care Builds Program to provide competitive grants under subtitle C of title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11381 et seq.) for the construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of permanent supportive housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or overcrowded living conditions. Eligible entities include Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, Tribal organizations, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Native Hawaiian organizations, and Native Hawaiian community-based organizations. Of grant funds, eligible entities may use amounts for capital costs and other activities specified by the Secretary; not more than 20% for supportive services, operating costs, rental assistance, or other activities under section 423 of the McKinney-Vento Act (42 U.S.C. 11383); and not more than 10% for administrative costs. Not less than 75% of amounts are reserved for projects benefiting Indian tribes, Tribal organizations, Native Hawaiians, or nonprofit organizations serving them, or located in Indian areas; and not less than 25% for eligible entities in states with populations under 2.5 million (with reallocation if insufficient applications). Grants are administered per 24 CFR part 578 with modifications, including environmental review treatment as special projects under section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 3547), with Indian tribes and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands treated as states. This section exempts certain projects on reservation or trust lands, or Tribal projects in Indian Housing Block Grant formula areas, from title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) and title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.); requires consultation with recipients submitting Indian housing plans under section 102 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 4112) for projects on reservations or trust lands; exempts Continuum of Care collaborative applicants whose areas include such lands from consolidated planning requirements under section 402(f)(2) of the McKinney-Vento Act (42 U.S.C. 11360a(f)(2)); and authorizes the Secretary to waive statutory or regulatory provisions (except labor requirements) to facilitate tribal participation. (As background, Indian housing plans under 25 U.S.C. 4112 set forth annual low-income housing activities, needs, and budgets for tribes or tribally designated housing entities receiving block grants under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act.)
This section establishes the Tribal Intergovernmental Advisory Committee within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a formal government-to-government advisory body composed of leaders of federally recognized tribes (or their designees) to provide policy recommendations on HUD programs and activities affecting Indian and Alaska Native communities. The committee consists of up to 16 tribal delegates (2 from each of HUD's Office of Native American Programs regions, to the extent practicable, and up to 3 at-large), 2 tribal co-chairs selected from the delegates, and HUD representatives including the Secretary (or designee) and relevant Assistant Secretaries. Committee duties include (1) advising on housing priorities for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities; (2) recommending policy, funding, and administrative improvements for relevant HUD programs; (3) enhancing intergovernmental communication and coordination; (4) supporting tribal consultation processes; and (5) ensuring timely tribally informed feedback in policy development. The committee must develop bylaws, hold at least 2 meetings per year (in-person or virtual), and reimburse travel and participation costs; it is exempt from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (chapter 10 of title 5, U.S. Code) pursuant to the intergovernmental communications exception in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1534(b)). Tribal delegates serve staggered 2-year terms, with alternates permitted, and the Secretary must provide administrative support subject to appropriations.
This section directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to require the Tribal Intergovernmental Advisory Committee to submit to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services, and make publicly available, a report not later than one year after enactment of this Act on (1) housing supply chain challenges in Tribal communities, (2) collaboration with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands on housing challenges impacting Native Hawaiian communities, and (3) recommended actions for Congress and HUD.
This section directs the Tribal Intergovernmental Advisory Committee of the Department of Housing and Urban Development to compile, from its prior reports, all background, issues, recommendations, and other information relevant to Alaska and Hawaii and—not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act—submit to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services, and make publicly available, two reports: (1) the Alaska Housing Task Force Report; and (2) the Native Hawaiian Housing Task Force Report.
