Ron Froman, the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the Creek Nation of Oklahoma, expressed concerns about the lack of funding and support for housing projects for American Indians in Oklahoma. He criticized HUD for delays and bureaucratic obstacles in the housing program, which has left many Indian families living in substandard conditions. Froman recommended legislative changes to address the unique challenges of providing housing on trust land, including consolidating housing programs under a single agency with specific production goals and subsidy programs. He emphasized the urgency of taking action to prevent the termination of the Indian housing program in June 1976.
