CHAPTER 43 - NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING ASSISTANCE AND

SELF-DETERMINATION

-HEAD-

Sec. 4101. Congressional findings

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds that -

(1) the Federal Government has a responsibility to promote the

general welfare of the Nation -

(A) by using Federal resources to aid families and

individuals seeking affordable homes in safe and healthy

environments and, in particular, assisting responsible,

deserving citizens who cannot provide fully for themselves

because of temporary circumstances or factors beyond their

control;

(B) by working to ensure a thriving national economy and a

strong private housing market; and

Government, State, tribal, and local governments, and private

entities that allow government to accept responsibility for

fostering the development of a healthy marketplace and allow

families to prosper without government involvement in their

day-to-day activities;

(2) there exists a unique relationship between the Government

of the United States and the governments of Indian tribes and a

unique Federal responsibility to Indian people;

(3) the Constitution of the United States invests the Congress

with plenary power over the field of Indian affairs, and through

treaties, statutes, and historical relations with Indian tribes,

the United States has undertaken a unique trust responsibility to

protect and support Indian tribes and Indian people;

(4) the Congress, through treaties, statutes, and the general

course of dealing with Indian tribes, has assumed a trust

responsibility for the protection and preservation of Indian

tribes and for working with tribes and their members to improve

their housing conditions and socioeconomic status so that they

are able to take greater responsibility for their own economic

condition;

(5) providing affordable homes in safe and healthy environments

is an essential element in the special role of the United States

in helping tribes and their members to improve their housing

conditions and socioeconomic status;

(6) the need for affordable homes in safe and healthy

environments on Indian reservations, in Indian communities, and

in Native Alaskan villages is acute and the Federal Government

should work not only to provide housing assistance, but also, to

the extent practicable, to assist in the development of private

housing finance mechanisms on Indian lands to achieve the goals

of economic self-sufficiency and self-determination for tribes

and their members; and

(7) Federal assistance to meet these responsibilities should be

provided in a manner that recognizes the right of Indian

self-determination and tribal self-governance by making such

assistance available directly to the Indian tribes or tribally

designated entities under authorities similar to those accorded

Indian tribes in Public Law 93-638 (25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.).

programs

-STATUTE-

(a) Authorization of waiver

For any housing program that provides assistance through any

Indian housing authority, the Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development may provide assistance under such program in any fiscal

year notwithstanding any other provision of law that requires the

Indian housing authority to provide amounts to match or supplement

the amounts provided under such program, if the Indian housing

authority has not received amounts for such fiscal year under title

I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C.

5301 et seq.].

(b) Extent of waiver

The authority under subsection (a) of this section to provide

assistance notwithstanding requirements regarding matching or

supplemental amounts shall be effective only to the extent provided

which the waiver is made or beyond the receipt of any amounts by an

Indian housing authority under title I of the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.].

For purposes of this section, the term "housing program" means a

Sec. 4111. Block grants

-STATUTE-

(a) Authority

For each fiscal year, the Secretary shall (to the extent amounts

are made available to carry out this chapter) make grants under

this section on behalf of Indian tribes to carry out affordable

housing activities. Under such a grant on behalf of an Indian

tribe, the Secretary shall provide the grant amounts for the tribe

directly to the recipient for the tribe.

(b) Plan requirement

(1) In general

The Secretary may make a grant under this chapter on behalf of

an Indian tribe for a fiscal year only if -

(A) the Indian tribe has submitted to the Secretary an Indian

housing plan for such fiscal year under section 4112 of this

title; and

(B) the plan has been determined under section 4113 of this

title to comply with the requirements of section 4112 of this

title.

(2) Waiver

The Secretary may waive the applicability of the requirements

under paragraph (1), in whole or in part, for a period of not

more than 90 days, if the Secretary determines that an Indian

tribe has not complied with, or is unable to comply with, those

requirements due to exigent circumstances beyond the control of

the Indian tribe.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, grant

amounts provided under this chapter on behalf of an Indian tribe

may not be used for rental or lease-purchase homeownership units

that are owned by the recipient for the tribe unless the governing

body of the locality within which the property subject to the

development activities to be assisted with the grant amounts is or

will be situated has entered into an agreement with the recipient

for the tribe providing for local cooperation required by the

Secretary pursuant to this chapter. The Secretary may waive the

requirements of this subsection and subsection (d) of this section

if the recipient has made a good faith effort to fulfill the

requirements of this subsection and subsection (d) of this section

and agrees to make payments in lieu of taxes to the appropriate

taxing authority in an amount consistent with the requirements of

subsection (d)(2) of this section until such time as the matter of

making such payments has been resolved in accordance with

subsection (d) of this section.

(d) Exemption from taxation

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, grant

amounts provided under this chapter on behalf of an Indian tribe

may not be used for affordable housing activities under this

chapter for rental or lease-purchase dwelling units developed under

the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) or

with amounts provided under this chapter that are owned by the

recipient for the tribe unless -

(1) such dwelling units (which, in the case of units in a

multi-unit project, shall be exclusive of any portions of the

project not developed under the United States Housing Act of 1937

[42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.] or with amounts provided under this

chapter) are exempt from all real and personal property taxes

levied or imposed by any State, tribe, city, county, or other

political subdivision; and

(2) the recipient for the tribe makes annual payments of user

fees to compensate such governments for the costs of providing

governmental services, including police and fire protection,

roads, water and sewerage systems, utilities systems and related

facilities, or payments in lieu of taxes to such taxing

authority, in an amount equal to the greater of $150 per dwelling

unit or 10 percent of the difference between the shelter rent and

the utility cost, or such lesser amount as -

(A) is prescribed by State, tribal, or local law;

(B) is agreed to by the local governing body in the agreement

under subsection (c) of this section; or

such user fees or payments in lieu of taxes shall not be made.

(e) Effect of failure to exempt from taxation

Notwithstanding subsection (d) of this section, a grant recipient

that does not comply with the requirements under such subsection

may receive a block grant under this chapter, but only if the

tribe, State, city, county, or other political subdivision in which

the affordable housing development is located contributes, in the

form of cash or tax remission, the amount by which the taxes paid

with respect to the development exceed the amounts prescribed in

subsection (d)(2) of this section.

Except as otherwise provided under this chapter, the amount of a

grant under this section to a recipient for a fiscal year shall be

(2) in the case of a recipient whose grant beneficiary is more

than 1 Indian tribe, the sum of the amounts of the allocations

under section 4151 of this title for each such Indian tribe.

(g) Use for affordable housing activities under plan

Except as provided in subsection (h) of this section, amounts

provided under a grant under this section may be used only for

affordable housing activities under subchapter II of this chapter

that are consistent with an Indian housing plan approved under

section 4113 of this title.

(h) Administrative and planning expenses

The Secretary shall, by regulation, authorize each recipient to

use a percentage of any grant amounts received under this chapter

for comprehensive housing and community development planning

activities and for any reasonable administrative and planning

expenses of the recipient relating to carrying out this chapter and

activities assisted with such amounts, which may include costs for

salaries of individuals engaged in administering and managing

affordable housing activities assisted with grant amounts provided

under this chapter and expenses of preparing an Indian housing plan

under section 4112 of this title.

(i) Public-private partnerships

Each recipient shall make all reasonable efforts, consistent with

the purposes of this chapter, to maximize participation by the

private sector, including nonprofit organizations and for-profit

entities, in implementing the approved Indian housing plan.

-STATUTE-

(a) Review and notice

(1) Review

The Secretary shall conduct a limited review of each Indian

Secretary shall have the discretion to review a plan only to the

extent that the Secretary considers review is necessary.

(2) Notice

The Secretary shall notify each Indian tribe for which a plan

is submitted and any tribally designated housing entity for the

tribe whether the plan complies with such requirements not later

than 60 days after receiving the plan. If the Secretary does not

notify the Indian tribe, as required under this subsection and

subsection (b) of this section, the plan shall be considered, for

purposes of this chapter, to have been determined to comply with

the requirements under section 4112 of this title and the tribe

shall be considered to have been notified of compliance upon the

expiration of such 60-day period.

(b) Notice of reasons for determination of noncompliance

If the Secretary determines that a plan, as submitted, does not

comply with the requirements under section 4112 of this title, the

Secretary shall specify in the notice under subsection (a) of this

section the reasons for the noncompliance and any modifications

necessary for the plan to meet the requirements under section 4112

of this title.

After submission of the Indian housing plan or any amendment or

modification to the plan to the Secretary, to the extent that the

Secretary considers such action to be necessary to make

determinations under this subsection, the Secretary shall review

the plan (including any amendments or modifications thereto) to

determine whether the contents of the plan -

title to be contained in an Indian housing plan;

(2) are consistent with information and data available to the

Secretary; and

(3) are not prohibited by or inconsistent with any provision of

this chapter or other applicable law.

If the Secretary determines that any of the appropriate

specified in regulations issued by the Secretary) are most

effectively implemented in connection with the expenditure of

grant amounts provided under this chapter, and to ensure to the

public undiminished protection of the environment, the Secretary,

in lieu of the environmental protection procedures otherwise

applicable, may by regulation provide for the release of amounts

for particular projects to tribes which assume all of the

responsibilities for environmental review, decisionmaking, and

action pursuant to such Act, and such other provisions of law as

the regulations of the Secretary specify, that would apply to the

Secretary were the Secretary to undertake such projects as

Federal projects.

The Secretary shall issue regulations to carry out this

section only after consultation with the Council on

Environmental Quality.

(B) Contents

The regulations issued under this paragraph shall -

(3) Effect on assumed responsibility

The duty of the Secretary under paragraph (2)(B) shall not be

construed to limit or reduce any responsibility assumed by a

recipient of grant amounts with respect to any particular release

of funds.

(b) Procedure

The Secretary shall approve the release of funds subject to the

procedures authorized by this section only if, not less than 15

days prior to such approval and prior to any commitment of funds to

such projects, the tribe has submitted to the Secretary a request

for such release accompanied by a certification that meets the

requirements of subsection (c) of this section. The approval of the

Secretary of any such certification shall be deemed to satisfy the

responsibilities of the Secretary under the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] and such other

provisions of law as the regulations of the Secretary specify

insofar as those responsibilities relate to the releases of funds

the Secretary determines that a failure on the part of a recipient

to comply with provisions of this section -

(1) will not frustrate the goals of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] or any other

provision of law that furthers the goals of that Act;

(2) does not threaten the health or safety of the community

incomplete certification provided under subsection (c)(1) of this

section; and

Sec. 4131. National objectives and eligible families

-STATUTE-

(a) Primary objective

The national objectives of this chapter are -

(1) to assist and promote affordable housing activities to

develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing in safe and

healthy environments on Indian reservations and in other Indian

areas for occupancy by low-income Indian families;

(2) to ensure better access to private mortgage markets for

Indian tribes and their members and to promote self-sufficiency

of Indian tribes and their members;

(3) to coordinate activities to provide housing for Indian

tribes and their members with Federal, State, and local

activities to further economic and community development for

Indian tribes and their members;

(4) to plan for and integrate infrastructure resources for

Indian tribes with housing development for tribes; and

(5) to promote the development of private capital markets in

Indian country and to allow such markets to operate and grow,

thereby benefiting Indian communities.

(b) Eligible families

(1) In general

Except as provided under paragraphs (2) and (4), assistance

under eligible housing activities under this chapter shall be

limited to low-income Indian families on Indian reservations and

other Indian areas.

(2) Exception to low-income requirement

A recipient may provide assistance for homeownership activities

under section 4132(2) of this title, model activities under

section 4132(6) of this title, or loan guarantee activities under

subchapter VI of this chapter to Indian families who are not

low-income families, to the extent that the Secretary approves

the activities pursuant to such section or subchapter because

there is a need for housing for such families that cannot

reasonably be met without such assistance. The Secretary shall

establish limits on the amount of assistance that may be provided

under this chapter for activities for families who are not

low-income families.

(3) Non-Indian families

Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a recipient may provide housing

or housing assistance provided through affordable housing

activities assisted with grant amounts under this chapter for a

non-Indian family on an Indian reservation or other Indian area

if the recipient determines that the presence of the family on

the Indian reservation or other Indian area is essential to the

well-being of Indian families and the need for housing for the

family cannot reasonably be met without such assistance.

(4) Law enforcement officers

A recipient may provide housing or housing assistance provided

through affordable housing activities assisted with grant amounts

under this chapter for a law enforcement officer on an Indian

reservation or other Indian area, if -

(A) the officer -

(i) is employed on a full-time basis by the Federal

Government or a State, county, or lawfully recognized tribal

government; and

(ii) in implementing such full-time employment, is sworn to

uphold, and make arrests for, violations of Federal, State,

county, or tribal law; and

(B) the recipient determines that the presence of the law

enforcement officer on the Indian reservation or other Indian

area may deter crime.

(5) Law enforcement officers

Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a recipient may provide housing

or housing assistance provided through affordable housing

activities assisted with grant amounts under this chapter to a

law enforcement officer on the reservation or other Indian area,

who is employed full-time by a Federal, State, county or tribal

government, and in implementing such full-time employment is

sworn to uphold, and make arrests for violations of Federal,

State, county or tribal law, if the recipient determines that the

presence of the law enforcement officer on the Indian reservation

or other Indian area may deter crime.

(6) (!1) Preference for tribal members and other Indian families

The Indian housing plan for an Indian tribe may require

preference, for housing or housing assistance provided through

affordable housing activities assisted with grant amounts

provided under this chapter on behalf of such tribe, to be given

(to the extent practicable) to Indian families who are members of

such tribe, or to other Indian families. In any case in which the

applicable Indian housing plan for an Indian tribe provides for

preference under this paragraph, the recipient for the tribe

shall ensure that housing activities that are assisted with grant

amounts under this chapter for such tribe are subject to such

preference.

(6) (!1) Exemption

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et

seq.] and title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 [42 U.S.C.

tribes and the tribally designated housing entities of those

tribes under this chapter.

that the Secretary determines is the longest feasible period of

time consistent with sound economics and the purposes of this

chapter, except upon a foreclosure by a lender (or upon other

Except with respect to an Indian tribe described in

subparagraph (B), the formula shall provide that, if, in any

fiscal year, the total amount made available for assistance

under this chapter is equal to or greater than the total amount

made available for fiscal year 1996 for assistance for the

operation and modernization of public housing developed or

operated pursuant to a contract between the Secretary and an

Indian housing authority pursuant to the United States Housing

Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.], the amount provided for

such fiscal year for each Indian tribe for which such operating

or modernization assistance was provided for fiscal year 1996

shall not be less than the total amount of such operating and

modernization assistance provided for fiscal year 1996 for such

tribe.

(B) Certain Indian tribes

With respect to fiscal year 2001 and each fiscal year

thereafter, for any Indian tribe with an Indian housing

authority that owns or operates fewer than 250 public housing

units, the formula shall provide that if the amount provided

for a fiscal year in which the total amount made available for

assistance under this chapter is equal to or greater than the

amount made available for fiscal year 1996 for assistance for

the operation and modernization of the public housing referred

to in subparagraph (A), then the amount provided to that Indian

tribe as modernization assistance shall be equal to the average

annual amount of funds provided to the Indian tribe (other than

provided for such fiscal year for each Indian tribe for which

such operating or modernization assistance was provided for

fiscal year 1996 shall not be less than the amount that bears the

same ratio to the total amount available for assistance under

this chapter for such fiscal year that the amount of operating

and modernization assistance provided for the tribe for fiscal

Sec. 4161. Remedies for noncompliance

-STATUTE-

(a) Actions by Secretary affecting grant amounts

(1) In general

Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, if the

Secretary finds after reasonable notice and opportunity for

hearing that a recipient of assistance under this chapter has

failed to comply substantially with any provision of this

chapter, the Secretary shall -

(A) terminate payments under this chapter to the recipient;

(B) reduce payments under this chapter to the recipient by an

amount equal to the amount of such payments that were not

expended in accordance with this chapter;

programs, projects, or activities not affected by such failure

If the Secretary takes an action under subparagraph (A), (B),

or (C) of paragraph (1), the Secretary shall continue such action

until the Secretary determines that the failure to comply has

ceased.

(3) Exception for certain actions

(A) In general

Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if

the Secretary makes a determination that the failure of a

recipient of assistance under this chapter to comply

substantially with any material provision (as that term is

defined by the Secretary) of this chapter is resulting, and

would continue to result, in a continuing expenditure of

Federal funds in a manner that is not authorized by law, the

Secretary may take an action described in paragraph (1)(C)

before conducting a hearing.

(B) Procedural requirement

If the Secretary takes an action described in subparagraph

(A), the Secretary shall -

(i) provide notice to the recipient at the time that the

Secretary takes that action; and

(ii) conduct a hearing not later than 60 days after the

date on which the Secretary provides notice under clause (i).

Upon completion of a hearing under this paragraph, the

Secretary shall make a determination regarding whether to

continue taking the action that is the subject of the hearing,

or take another action under this subsection.

(b) Noncompliance because of technical incapacity

(1) In general

If the Secretary makes a finding under subsection (a) of this

section, but determines that the failure to comply substantially

with the provisions of this chapter -

(A) is not a pattern or practice of activities constituting

willful noncompliance, and

(B) is a result of the limited capability or capacity of the

recipient,

the Secretary may provide technical assistance for the recipient

(directly or indirectly) that is designed to increase the

capability and capacity of the recipient to administer assistance

provided under this chapter in compliance with the requirements

under this chapter, if the recipient enters into a performance

agreement with the Secretary that specifies the compliance

objectives that the recipient will be required to achieve by the

termination date of the performance agreement.

(2) Performance agreement

The period of a performance agreement described in paragraph

(1) shall be for 1 year.

(3) Review

Upon the termination of a performance agreement entered into

under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall review the performance

of the recipient that is a party to the agreement.

(4) Effect of review

If, on the basis of a review under paragraph (3), the Secretary

determines that the recipient -

(A) has made a good faith effort to meet the compliance

objectives specified in the agreement, the Secretary may enter

into an additional performance agreement for the period

specified in paragraph (2); and

(B) has failed to make a good faith effort to meet applicable

compliance objectives, the Secretary shall determine the

recipient to have failed to comply substantially with this

chapter, and the recipient shall be subject to an action under

subsection (a) of this section.

(1) Authority

In lieu of, or in addition to, any action authorized by

subsection (a) of this section, if the Secretary has reason to

believe that a recipient has failed to comply substantially with

any provision of this chapter, the Secretary may refer the matter

to the Attorney General of the United States with a

recommendation that an appropriate civil action be instituted.

(2) Civil action

Upon such a referral, the Attorney General may bring a civil

action in any United States district court having venue thereof

for such relief as may be appropriate, including an action to

recover the amount of the assistance furnished under this chapter

that was not expended in accordance with it, or for mandatory or

injunctive relief.

(d) Review

(1) In general

section of the termination, reduction, or limitation of payments

under this chapter -

(A) may, not later than 60 days after receiving such notice,

file with the United States Court of Appeals for the circuit in

which such State is located, or in the United States Court of

Appeals for the District of Columbia, a petition for review of

the action of the Secretary; and

(B) upon the filing of any petition under subparagraph (A),

shall forthwith transmit copies of the petition to the

Secretary and the Attorney General of the United States, who

shall represent the Secretary in the litigation.

(2) Procedure

The Secretary shall file in the court a record of the

proceeding on which the Secretary based the action, as provided

in section 2112 of title 28. No objection to the action of the

Secretary shall be considered by the court unless such objection

has been urged before the Secretary.

(3) Disposition

(A) Court proceedings

The court shall have jurisdiction to affirm or modify the

action of the Secretary or to set it aside in whole or in part.

The findings of fact by the Secretary, if supported by

substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole, shall

be conclusive. The court may order additional evidence to be

taken by the Secretary, and to be made part of the record.

(B) Secretary

The Secretary -

(i) may modify the findings of fact of the Secretary, or

make new findings, by reason of the new evidence so taken and

filed with the court; and

(ii) shall file -

(I) such modified or new findings, which findings with

respect to questions of fact shall be conclusive if

supported by substantial evidence on the record considered

as a whole; and

(II) the recommendation of the Secretary, if any, for the

modification or setting aside of the original action of the

Secretary.

(4) Finality

Upon the filing of the record with the court, the jurisdiction

(a) Authority

To such extent or in such amounts as provided in appropriations

Acts, the Secretary may, subject to the limitations of this

subchapter (including limitations designed to protect and maintain

the viability of rental housing units owned or operated by the

recipient that were developed under a contract between the

Secretary and an Indian housing authority pursuant to the United

States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.]), and upon such

terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, guarantee and

make commitments to guarantee, the notes or other obligations

issued by Indian tribes or tribally designated housing entities

with tribal approval, for the purposes of financing affordable

housing activities described in section 4132 of this title and

housing related community development activity as consistent with

the purposes of this chapter.

(b) Terms of loans

Notes or other obligations guaranteed pursuant to this subchapter

shall be in such form and denominations, have such maturities, and

be subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by regulations

issued by the Secretary. The Secretary may not deny a guarantee

under this subchapter on the basis of the proposed repayment period

for the note or other obligation, unless the period is more than 20

years or the Secretary determines that the period causes the

guarantee to constitute an unacceptable financial risk.

No guarantee or commitment to guarantee shall be made with

respect to any note or other obligation if the total outstanding

notes or obligations of the issuer guaranteed under this subchapter

(excluding any amount defeased under the contract entered into

under section 4192(a)(1) of this title) would thereby exceed an

amount equal to 5 times the amount of the grant approval for the

issuer pursuant to subchapter III of this chapter.

-STATUTE-

(a) Requirements on issuer

To assure the repayment of notes or other obligations and charges

incurred under this subchapter and as a condition for receiving

such guarantees, the Secretary shall require the Indian tribe or

housing entity issuing such notes or obligations to -

(1) enter into a contract, in a form acceptable to the

Secretary, for repayment of notes or other obligations guaranteed

under this subchapter;

(2) pledge any grant for which the issuer may become eligible

under this chapter;

(3) demonstrate that the extent of such issuance and guarantee

under this subchapter is within the financial capacity of the

tribe and is not likely to impair the ability to use grant

amounts under subchapter I of this chapter, taking into

consideration the requirements under section 4133(b) of this

title; and

(4) furnish, at the discretion of the Secretary, such other

security as may be deemed appropriate by the Secretary in making

such guarantees, including increments in local tax receipts

generated by the activities assisted under this chapter or

disposition proceeds from the sale of land or rehabilitated

property.

(b) Repayment from grant amounts

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter -

(1) the Secretary may apply grants pledged pursuant to

subsection (a)(2) of this section to any repayments due the

United States as a result of such guarantees; and

(2) grants allocated under this chapter for an Indian tribe or

housing entity (including program income derived therefrom) may

be used to pay principal and interest due (including such

servicing, underwriting, and other costs as may be specified in

regulations issued by the Secretary) on notes or other

obligations guaranteed pursuant to this subchapter.

The full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to the

payment of all guarantees made under this subchapter. Any such

guarantee made by the Secretary shall be conclusive evidence of the

eligibility of the obligations for such guarantee with respect to

principal and interest, and the validity of any such guarantee so

made shall be incontestable in the hands of a holder of the

guaranteed obligations.

FINDINGS

Pub. L. 106-569, title V, Sec. 512, Dec. 27, 2000, 114 Stat.

2966, provided that: "The Congress finds that -

"(1) the United States has undertaken a responsibility to

promote the general welfare of the United States by -

"(A) employing its resources to remedy the unsafe and

unsanitary housing conditions and the acute shortage of decent,

safe, and sanitary dwellings for families of lower income; and

"(B) developing effective partnerships with governmental and

private entities to accomplish the objectives referred to in

subparagraph (A);

"(2) the United States has a special responsibility for the

welfare of the Native peoples of the United States, including

Native Hawaiians;

"(3) pursuant to the provisions of the Hawaiian Homes

Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.) [former 48 U.S.C. 691

et seq.], the United States set aside 200,000 acres of land in

the Federal territory that later became the State of Hawaii in

order to establish a homeland for the native people of Hawaii -

Native Hawaiians;

"(4) despite the intent of Congress in 1920 to address the

housing needs of Native Hawaiians through the enactment of the

Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.),

Native Hawaiians eligible to reside on the Hawaiian home lands

have been foreclosed from participating in Federal housing

assistance programs available to all other eligible families in

the United States;

"(5) although Federal housing assistance programs have been

administered on a racially neutral basis in the State of Hawaii,

Native Hawaiians continue to have the greatest unmet need for

housing and the highest rates of overcrowding in the United

States;

"(6) among the Native American population of the United States,

Native Hawaiians experience the highest percentage of housing

problems in the United States, as the percentage -

"(A) of housing problems in the Native Hawaiian population is

49 percent, as compared to -

"(i) 44 percent for American Indian and Alaska Native

households in Indian country; and

"(ii) 27 percent for all other households in the United

States; and

"(B) overcrowding in the Native Hawaiian population is 36

percent as compared to 3 percent for all other households in

the United States;

"(7) among the Native Hawaiian population, the needs of Native

Hawaiians, as that term is defined in section 801 of the Native

American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996

[25 U.S.C. 4221] (as added by this subtitle), eligible to reside

on the Hawaiian Home Lands are the most severe, as -

"(A) the percentage of overcrowding in Native Hawaiian

households on the Hawaiian Home Lands is 36 percent; and

"(B) approximately 13,000 Native Hawaiians, which constitute

95 percent of the Native Hawaiians who are eligible to reside

on the Hawaiian Home Lands, are in need of housing;

"(8) applying the Department of Housing and Urban Development

guidelines -

"(A) 70.8 percent of Native Hawaiians who either reside or

who are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands have

incomes that fall below the median family income; and

"(B) 50 percent of Native Hawaiians who either reside or who

are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands have incomes

below 30 percent of the median family income;

"(9) one-third of those Native Hawaiians who are eligible to

reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands pay more than 30 percent of

their income for shelter, and one-half of those Native Hawaiians

face overcrowding;

"(10) the extraordinarily severe housing needs of Native

Hawaiians demonstrate that Native Hawaiians who either reside on,

or are eligible to reside on, Hawaiian Home Lands have been

denied equal access to Federal low-income housing assistance

programs available to other qualified residents of the United

States, and that a more effective means of addressing their

housing needs must be authorized;

"(11) consistent with the recommendations of the National

Commission on American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian

Housing, and in order to address the continuing prevalence of

extraordinarily severe housing needs among Native Hawaiians who

either reside or are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home

Lands, Congress finds it necessary to extend the Federal

low-income housing assistance available to American Indians and

Alaska Natives under the Native American Housing Assistance and

Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) to those

Native Hawaiians;

"(12) under the treatymaking power of the United States,

Congress had the constitutional authority to confirm a treaty

between the United States and the government that represented the

Hawaiian people, and from 1826 until 1893, the United States

recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii, extended

full diplomatic recognition to the Hawaiian Government, and

entered into treaties and conventions with the Hawaiian monarchs

to govern commerce and navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and

1887;

"(13) the United States has recognized and reaffirmed that -

"(A) Native Hawaiians have a cultural, historic, and

land-based link to the indigenous people who exercised

sovereignty over the Hawaiian Islands, and that group has never

relinquished its claims to sovereignty or its sovereign lands;

"(B) Congress does not extend services to Native Hawaiians

because of their race, but because of their unique status as

the indigenous people of a once sovereign nation as to whom the

United States has established a trust relationship;

"(C) Congress has also delegated broad authority to

administer a portion of the Federal trust responsibility to the

State of Hawaii;

"(D) the political status of Native Hawaiians is comparable

to that of American Indians and Alaska Natives; and

"(E) the aboriginal, indigenous people of the United States

have -

"(i) a continuing right to autonomy in their internal

affairs; and

"(ii) an ongoing right of self-determination and

self-governance that has never been extinguished;

"(14) the political relationship between the United States and

the Native Hawaiian people has been recognized and reaffirmed by

the United States as evidenced by the inclusion of Native

Hawaiians in -

"(A) the Native American Programs Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 2291

[2991] et seq.);

"(B) the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (42 U.S.C.

1996 et seq.);

U.S.C. 80q et seq.);

"(D) the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation

1501 et seq.); and

"(I) the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3001 et

seq.); and

"(15) in the area of housing, the United States has recognized

and reaffirmed the political relationship with the Native

Hawaiian people through -

"(A) the enactment of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920

(42 Stat. 108 et seq.), which set aside approximately 200,000

acres of public lands that became known as Hawaiian Home Lands

in the Territory of Hawaii that had been ceded to the United

States for homesteading by Native Hawaiians in order to

rehabilitate a landless and dying people;

"(B) the enactment of the Act entitled 'An Act to provide for

the admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union', approved

March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4) [Pub. L. 86-3, 48 U.S.C. note prec.

491] -

"(i) by ceding to the State of Hawaii title to the public

lands formerly held by the United States, and mandating that

those lands be held in public trust, for the betterment of

the conditions of Native Hawaiians, as that term is defined

in section 201 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 (42

Stat. 108 et seq.); and

"(ii) by transferring the United States responsibility for

the administration of Hawaiian Home Lands to the State of

Hawaii, but retaining the authority to enforce the trust,

including the exclusive right of the United States to consent

to any actions affecting the lands which comprise the corpus

of the trust and any amendments to the Hawaiian Homes

Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.), enacted by the

legislature of the State of Hawaii affecting the rights of

beneficiaries under the Act;

"(C) the authorization of mortgage loans insured by the

Federal Housing Administration for the purchase, construction,

or refinancing of homes on Hawaiian Home Lands under the

National Housing Act (Public Law 479; 73d Congress; 12 U.S.C.

1701 et seq.);

"(D) authorizing Native Hawaiian representation on the

National Commission on American Indian, Alaska Native, and

Native Hawaiian Housing under Public Law 101-235 [see Tables

for classification];

"(E) the inclusion of Native Hawaiians in the definition

under section 3764 of title 38, United States Code, applicable

to subchapter V of chapter 37 of title 38, United States Code

(relating to a housing loan program for Native American

veterans); and

"(F) the enactment of the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act

(109 Stat. 357; 48 U.S.C. 491, note prec.) [Pub. L. 104-42,

title II] which establishes a process for the conveyance of

Federal lands to the Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands that

are equivalent in value to lands acquired by the United States

from the Hawaiian Home Lands inventory."
