Scope and Contents
The letter discusses proposed amendments to the United States Housing Act of 1937 submitted by the Indians of Western Oklahoma, aimed at allowing various Indian tribes to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Housing and Home Finance Agency is sympathetic but doubts the effectiveness of the proposed amendments in achieving this goal, as they may not provide the necessary governmental powers required for participation in the program. The letter also highlights the lack of existing State legislation in Oklahoma to accommodate the creation of housing authorities for Indian Tribes. The letter concludes by stating that further discussions and considerations may be necessary to address the housing needs of Indian tribal groups.
