It highlights differences between the Senate and House bills, with the Senate providing funding for Indian housing, while the House bill lacks provisions for Indian or rural housing needs. The House Subcommittee on Housing has produced a "bare bones" bill that includes a new leasing program, which involves direct contracts with owners of housing units and fair market rentals. The document also mentions efforts to include public housing set-asides for Indian housing and rural housing amendments in the legislation. Further discussions and battles are expected in the full committee mark-up. Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act.
