“In carrying out its work in Native American communities since 1971, HAC has heralded the extraordinary resilience of Native American communities. Such resilience coupled with adequate and sustained federal resources toward housing in Native American communities can be transformative.” – Moises Loza, HAC Executive Director

HAC’s Moises Loza weighed in on NAHASDA at 20 Years via written testimony to the House Financial Services Committee’s Housing & Insurance, which held a field hearing last week at the LAC Courte Oreilles Ojibwe School in Hayward, Wisconsin. Loza’s testimony emphasized the importance of tribal self-determination and robust funding for programs authorized within NAHASDA in order to meet the housing needs of Native American communities.  Loza noted HAC’s long history with tribal housing, dating to the 1970s era “Worst in the Nation” HAC tribal housing report, which laid a foundation for HAC’s work on the issue.
