Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2023

The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2023 updates and extends the 1996 law providing housing assistance to Native American tribes and communities, extending funding authorization through 2034. Key provisions include streamlining environmental review processes to give tribes more control over projects funded with multiple federal sources, expanding student housing assistance to include college housing, and creating new programs for Indian veterans and drug elimination in housing communities. The bill also increases procurement exemptions from $5,000 to $10,000 and requires reports to specific congressional committees. These changes directly affect Native American tribes, tribal housing entities, and low-income Native American residents who rely on these housing programs.
