Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act

The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) is a federal law that provides funding and support to help Native American tribes develop and maintain quality, affordable housing on reservations and Indian lands. It aims to promote self-governance by allowing tribes to manage their own housing programs, empower communities, and address housing needs more effectively. The law recognizes tribal sovereignty and works to improve living conditions while respecting the cultural and environmental aspects unique to Native American communities.
