The document discusses the mutual self-help housing program for Cherokee Indian families in Oklahoma, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Some families are facing eviction due to falling behind on payments, despite facing financial hardships. The Cherokee Housing Authority has been ordered to evict families who cannot make payments. The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is preparing to advertise Low-Rent and Mutual Help units to accommodate more applicants. The program has had a positive impact on the community in terms of job openings, training, and improving the lives of participants' children. The ultimate goal is to provide adequate housing for all people living in substandard conditions.
