It is the sense of Congress that— the Federal Government should provide steady, equitable, noncompetitive, and nondiscretionary funding directly to Indian tribes, Tribal governments, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations to support the development of housing; legislation to address the housing needs in Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities (known as the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2021 , S. 1368 and H.R. 2768, 117th Congress, as introduced in April 2021 and previously supported in a resolution adopted by the National American Indian Housing Council) should be enacted without delay; and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development should continue to consult with Indian tribes, confer with tribal organizations, and collaborate with Native Hawaiian organizations to ensure that Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations are maximizing their capacity and technical expertise to provide for increased housing and infrastructure in their communities.
