Navajo Housing faces cuts despite 86.7 million budget
Navajo Housing Authority warns of layoffs or reduced hours as operating costs squeeze reserves. Despite securing 86.7 million in HUD funded grants for 1,104 new houses and 1,041 renovations, money covers construction not operations. Delays in approving the 1999 housing plan and tribal turnover extend reviews. Director Chester Carl cites dwindling reserves by January and multiple committees awaiting final tribal approval before HUD review.
