They experience significant erosion, land subsidence, some severe weather. While we were there, we saw firsthand the progress of a decades-long effort to move the community to safety because they've got a collapsing shoreline there. And we saw the skid that the community uses to move the homes out of harm's way. This is a village that is absolutely Determined, and their local leadership shows that they look to what their community needs, they're doing the work to make it happen, a great example of self-determination there. But I look forward to continuing to work with HUD, our committee members, and our housing leaders to advance NAHASDA because housing is foundational to nearly every issue that this committee works on, from education and workforce development to public safety, healthcare, and economic opportunity.
