Congress finds that— there is a housing crisis in Indian country that has worsened over the 20-year period preceding the date of introduction of this Act; the trust obligations of the Federal Government include providing housing opportunities for Native Americans; funding for the block grant programs under titles I and VIII of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 ( 25 U.S.C. 4111 et seq. , 25 U.S.C. 4221 et seq. )— has not matched inflation; and fails to cover the growing construction costs and demand for housing in Indian country; due in part to a lack of affordable housing, many Native Americans live in overcrowded conditions, resulting in— the average household size for Native Americans exceeding that of the overall average household size in the United States; and overcrowding rates in Tribal areas exceeding that of the overall overcrowding rate in other areas in the United States; lack of access to water is a substantially larger problem in Indian country than in the United States as a whole; and the historical displacement by the Federal Government of Native American communities to remote locations and the ongoing failure of the Federal Government to support the development of adequate infrastructure, including access to water, roads, and other basic utilities, continues to exacerbate housing inequities in Indian country.
