Good afternoon, everyone. Committee comes to order. Today the committee will consider S.5354, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Modernization Act of 2026. This is legislation that I've introduced with Vice Chairman Schatz to reauthorize and modernize the primary federal housing law that serves Native communities. Last week, the committee held a hearing on S.5354 and on housing needs in Native communities more broadly.
