APPENDIX IX

Various Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding
Entered Into by HUD, BIA, and IHS
Between 1963 and 1969

Ion. PHILLEO NASH,

Commissioner, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Vashington 25, D.C.

DEAR MR. NASH: Your agency has requested us to develop a proram that could meet the housing needs of low-income Indian families on reservations, stressing their desire for home ownership, their extremely meager financial resources, and their potential for contributing personal resources in the construction and maintenance of housing. To meet the needs of the Indian families, we have developed a MutualHelp housing program under the United States Housing Act of 1937 under which the financial and technical aid available under that Act would be combined with mutual-help contributions by the Indians and the Indian tribes, and with services and assistance of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to provide housing which would meet such needs.

In the course of the development of this program, we and representatives of our agencies have consulted from time to time with respect to both the features of the program and the responsibilities which should be borne by our respective agencies. As a result of these consultations and correspondence, we have arrived at certain understandings of a suitable division of responsibilities between the PHA and the BIA in the development and operation of the first mutual-help housing project. The purpose of this letter is to outline the elements of our understanding so that, if it meets with your agreement, we can pass it on to our respective Regional and Area offices with the further understanding that it is subject to modification as we gain experience in the program.

It is recognized that, in this mutual-help housing program for Indians, there are substantial differences from the conventional PHAaided low-rent housing program. Some of these differences stem from (1) unique ethnic patterns and ways of living, (2) land tenure patterns, (3) the element of "ownership" and the effect of "ownership" incentives, (4) extremely low economic base, (5) rural rather than urban attitudes, and (6) the unique relationships betweep the occupants, the the local housing authority, and the Federal Government. Because of these factors, it is important that the PHA Regional Directors and the BIA Area Directors work in close cooperation and that contacts with tribal governments, various agencies, and individual tribal members be made at the field level in cooperation with and through the superintendents of the reservations.

A. BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

In relation to mutual-help housing projects, the BIA will do the following:

1. Designate, for each mutual-help project, a representative of the BIA to act as a coordinator with the PHA and tribal housing authority. 2. Assist the tribal government in the preparation of the Workable Program for submission to the Housing and Home Finance Agency.
