Ron Froman, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the Creek Nation of Oklahoma, expressed his gratitude to Senator Bartlett for his efforts in securing public housing funds for American Indians. However, he raised concerns about the lack of funding and bureaucratic obstacles hindering housing projects for Indians in Oklahoma. Froman emphasized the importance of the housing program for tribal members living on trust property and suggested legislative changes to address the unique challenges faced by Indian families in accessing adequate housing. He called for a comprehensive approach to housing, including low-income housing programs, subsidies, guarantee authority for home financing, and community development funds. Froman warned that without immediate action, the Indian housing program would be at risk of termination.
