Item — Box: 33, Folder: 2
Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_33_2_0016
During a Senate Subcommittee field hearing on Indian housing in Oklahoma, Glenn W. Edwards, Executive Director of the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Housing Authority, expressed gratitude for past efforts but highlighted challenges in obtaining housing units for the tribe. They have received allocations but face delays in completing units due to bureaucratic hurdles. The tribe has a high demand for housing due to economic conditions, and statistics on housing needs are deemed inaccurate. The Authority recommends new legislation to provide more housing units for Indian people. Concerns are raised about the allocation of housing units for the state of Oklahoma and the possible relocation of the Indian Housing program office. Edwards believes the Oklahoma City office is best equipped to address the tribe's housing needs.
