Message froM the

Marty shuravloff Paul Lumley

Chairman and Executive Director

Dear NaIhC Members, friends and associates:

For the past 35 years the National American Indian Housing Council has been working collaboratively with Indian Country to build stronger communities. We have watched our membership grow to over 270 Native American housing programs representing over 460 tribes. Our strength is our unity and with this unity we have been able to accomplish great success this past year:

The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act was amended and reauthorized through 2013;$510 million for Native American housing was included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009;The Indian Housing Block Grant and other tribal housing funding was increased;The NAIHC’s federal funding for Training and Technical Assistance was restored and Tuition-Free training courses are being offered for the first time in more than 2 years; andThe NAIHC scholarship program to attend training courses was reinstated

We would not have been able to accomplish this without your support. While our work is far from done, we have shown that unity is a powerful tool.

As an organization, NAIHC also looked within to improve and serve our membership. The NAIHC bylaws were significantly modified and the NAIHC Board of Directors adopted a new Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Strategic Plan.

NAIHC is also celebrating our 35th Annual Convention & Trade Show in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 12-14, 2009. We are proud of our accomplishments this past year and our 35 Years of Building Stronger Communities.

Unity is our strongest asset. We look forward to another productive year.

Sincerely, Sincerely,

Marty Shuravloff Paul LumleyChairman Executive Director

T&TA Programs

Following the restoration of federal funding, NAIHC began the process of rebuilding its training and technical assistance (T&TA) programs. Under the federal fiscal year 2008 budget, $2.9 million dollars was appropriated for use by NAIHC to deliver training and technical assistance to tribes, Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs) and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs). It should be noted that the funding for the fiscal year 2008 training and technical assistance did not become available until late August 2008, more than 10 months following the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year.

The restoration of federal funding was welcome news. With this funding, NAIHC had the opportunity to start the rebuilding process with an eye towards bigger and better things in 2009.

During the fall of 2008, NAIHC began its rebuilding process by putting 13 consultants under contract to assist with the delivery of T&TA. NAIHC also established comprehensive training schedules for the 2009 training cycle that included the resumption of tuition free training opportunities and the resumption of NAIHC’s scholarship program.

technical assistanceWhile our ability to deliver Technical Assistance (TA) was very limited in 2008, NAIHC remained committed to providing TA services to tribes, IHAs, and TDHEs to the extent that resources allowed.

Technical Assistance—On-Site. During 2008, NAIHC delivered on-site TA to a total of 11 tribes, IHAs, and TDHEs and conducted 11 on-site TA visits. A total of 68 housing employees were served during those on-site TA visits.

Technical Assistance—Via Other Means. NAIHC also provided TA (i.e. answering questions, providing sample documents, and resource materials) through the use of the telephone and electronic mail. In 2008, NAIHC provided TA via other means on 79 occasions and served 37 tribes, IHAs, and TDHEs. Some housing entities received service under this program multiple times, based on need.

Model Policies. During 2008, NAIHC received 62 requests from tribes, IHAs and TDHEs for our Model Policy CD. That CD contains 13 model policies along with the Policy Development Guidebook, which were developed by NAIHC and approved by HUD/ONAP.

trainingThe training opportunities that NAIHC has traditionally provided to tribes, IHAs, and TDHEs were limited at best during the 2008 training cycle due to a lack of funding to support the program. The training that we were able to provide is highlighted below.

On-Site Housing Board Training. During 2008, NAIHC provided on-site training for the housing boards of 3 tribal housing programs and served a total of 14 board members.

Regional Indian Housing Association Training. During 2008, NAIHC provided training at 2 Regional Indian Housing Association meetings (in response to topic-based requests) and served a total of 37 Indian housing professionals

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program Basics Training. Working in cooperation with major corporate sponsors (Fannie Mae, Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, and Travois, Inc.), NAIHC was able to provide 3 LIHTC Program Basics training sessions in 2008. A total of 75 Indian housing professionals attended those sessions. NAIHC was also able to secure support from Federal agencies and State Housing Authorities in the training session.

On Demand Training. During 2008, NAIHC received 3 requests for specialized on-site training and served 43 Indian housing professionals at 3 different tribes, IHAs and TDHEs.

Training Provided at Annual Convention. NAIHC’s 2008 Convention featured 42 training or informational sessions covering 39 different topics. Sessions ranged between 1.5 and 6 hours in length, with 1,298 individuals attending the sessions (registered attendees attended more than one session). NAIHC also offered a bus tour that showcased two best practices housing projects in the Seattle area.

Training Provided at Legal Symposium. NAIHC’s 2008 Legal Symposium featured 21 training or informational sessions, covering 15 different topics, along with a one-half day Open Housing Forum. The Legal Symposium focused on the legal, financial, and regulatory issues that impact the Indian housing industry. The attendance figure for those sessions exceeded 900 (the registered attendees attended more that one session).

Leadership InstituteNAIHC’s Leadership Institute (LI) enjoyed another productive year. During 2008, NAIHC offered 15 regularly scheduled LI classes, covering 12 different course topics, and served 395 students. Traditionally, at NAIHC’s Annual Convention banquet we recognize those Leadership Institute students who graduate (complete the necessary course requirements for their “Professional Indian Housing Manager” certification). While there were no graduates ready by the time of the 2008 convention, at least 5 students have since completed the necessary course requirements to graduate and receive their PIHM certification. Those graduates will be recognized for their accomplishment at NAIHC’s 2009 Annual Convention banquet.

Pathways homeThanks to the generosity of the Bank of America and Enterprise Community Partners, NAIHC was able to continue offering its “Pathways Home: A Native Homeownership Guide” (homebuyer education) in 2008. The funding provided allowed for the reproduction of workbooks, revisions to the training materials and classroom training sessions.

Workbook Distribution. NAIHC serves as the national coordinator for the “Pathways Home: A Native Homeownership Guide” (homebuyer education) program and distributed 1,270 Pathways workbooks (219 instructor and 1,051 participant) in 2008. Those workbooks were used to support local homebuyer education classes at 28 different tribes, IHAs, TDHEs and at 8 national train-the-trainer certification classes.

Workbook Revisions. The Pathways Home workbooks, currently in use, were originally printed in April 2004 and over the years there have been many changes to the way the mortgage lending industry does business. While our instructors provide students with the most current information available (through classroom handouts, where necessary, when portions of the workbooks were outdated), the workbooks and curriculum were in need of updating to reflect the changing lending environment. Towards that end, NAIHC contracted with First Nations Oweesta Corporation in 2008 to update the Pathways Home curriculum and workbooks. Work on the updates is ongoing; however, NAIHC anticipates having the new workbooks available for use and distribution nationwide by the fall of 2009.

Pathways Training. During 2008, NAIHC offered 2 Pathways Home (train-the-trainer certification) courses. A total of 54 students attended those courses representing 35 different tribes, IHAs, TDHEs, and Indian Housing related organizations.

Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008

Without a doubt, the reauthorization of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) was NAIHC’s priority. On behalf of the NAIHC membership, the Office of Governmental Affairs (OGA) pressed for amendments to the law to enhance flexibility for tribes to operate their programs to best serve Native people. Side by side the NAIHC membership, OGA worked tirelessly with congressional staff to pass this bill in the 110th Congress. On October 14, 2008 the final version of the bill, H.R. 2786, authored by Senator Byron Dorgan, Chief Sponsor and Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs, was signed into law by President George W. Bush. 2008 was a milestone year with NAHASDA being amended and reauthorized through 2013. H.R. 2786 enhances tribal capacity to address substandard housing and infrastructure conditions in Indian country by encouraging greater self-management of housing programs and leveraging of scarce Indian Housing Block Grant (“IHBG”) dollars. NAIHC looks forward to a robust Negotiated Rulemaking process to ensure that these amendments become a reality for the benefit of Native American housing programs. The NAHASDA reauthorization was the only major national Indian bill to pass in this session of Congress.

Resources for Tribal Housing

AppropriationsAfter the dramatic turn of fiscal year 2007, fiscal years 2008 and 2009 saw increases for funding for Indian housing programs. As OGA continued to push for Indian Housing programs, the Indian Housing Block Grant was increased to $645 million and funding for programs such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs Home Improvement Program and NAIHC’s training and technical assistance was restored. Other increases in spending legislation included the Indian Community Development Block Grant to $65 million; Section 184 Loan Guarantee to $9 million. The Indian Health Services (“IHS”) Sanitation Facilities Construction held steady at $96 million. The NAIHC testifies each year at the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs’ oversight hearing on tribal priorities and the President’s Budget. The Committee develops its Views and Estimates Letter to the Chairman of the Budget Committee based on this hearing and NAIHC’s testimony.

Economic RecoveryOn February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”). ARRA appropriates an additional $510 million to FY 2009 funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) for Indian housing programs and activities; $255 million was allocated under the IHBG formula; $242 million was allocated competitively; and $10 million was allocated to the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant. Other programs that support tribal housing, such as IHS Sanitation Facilities Construction and USDA Rural Development, were funded at healthy levels as well.

Legislative Committee

The Legislative Committee has particularly increased the effectiveness and integrity of NAIHC in carrying forward the NAHASDA reauthorization this year. The Committee meets on a regular basis at NAIHC annual events: Legislative Conference, Legal Symposium and Annual Convention and by regular teleconferences.

Legislative Conference

The Legislative Conference was held February 25-27, 2008. Members heard remarks by Congressman Dan Boren, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Congressman Steve Pearce and HUD Assistant Secretary Paula Blunt. The Conference also featured panel discussions with congressional and administrative staff.

Legal Symposium

The Legal Symposium, held December 9-11, 2008, continued to break ground for Indian housing. The Symposium featured updates on tribal housing litigation, the federal economic stimulus and negotiated rulemaking of the new NAHASDA amendments.

Other Legislation - 111th Congress

Native Hawaiians NAIHC will be urging Congress to swiftly enact the Hawaiian Homeownership and Opportunity Act of 2009 (S.72 and H.R. 709) to reauthorize and amend Title VIII of the NAHASDA -Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians. NAIHC has consistently advocated for reauthorization of Title VIII. The Department of Hawaiians Home Lands became a member of NAIHC in 2008. Insurance-related Products on Indian LandsNAIHC is working closely with AMERIND to seek ways to ensure tribes and tribally-designated housing entities have access to insurance products and enhance the delivery of such products to tribal members residing in low-income housing throughout Indian Country.

#2008-04A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT REAUTHORIZATION OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING ASSISTANCE AND SELF-DETERMINATION ACT

Action taken:NAIHC strenuously advocated throughout the year for enactment of S.2062 and H.R. 2786, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008 which contained many amendments from the NAIHC membership. NAIHC kept the membership apprised of the progress or slow downs of the bill as it was conferenced between the House and Senate. NAIHC worked vigorously with the membership and tribes to urge Congress to pass this measure in the 110th Congress. On October 14, 2008 the President signed the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008 into law. The NAHASDA reauthorization was the only major national Indian bill to pass in this session of Congress.

#2008-05A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT FUNDING FOR NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING PROGRAMS

Action taken:NAIHC actively advocated throughout the year for increased spending levels for these programs through oral and written testimony, congressional meetings and briefing materials. NAIHC testified before the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on the President’s Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2010 that funding for the Indian Housing Block Grant be increased to $854 million.

Fiscal Year 2009 – Under the Omnibus spending legislation, the Indian Housing Block Grant was successfully increased to $645 million; Indian Community Development Block Grant increased to $65 million; Section 184 Loan Guarantee increased to $9 million; Indian Health Services (IHS) Sanitation Facilities Construction held steady at $96 million. In addition, NAIHC actively advocated for Native American housing to be included in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and was successful in achieving $510 million for NAHASDA, $10 million for the Indian Community Development Block Grant, $100 million for the IHS Sanitation Facilities Construction.

#2008-07A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT FOR REAUTHORIZATION OF NAHASDA IN 2008

Action Taken:NAIHC advocated zealously throughout the year for Congress not to include language related to the Cherokee Freedmen dispute in the NAHASDA reauthorization bills. Congressional members came to a compromise on language that was included in final passage of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008.

#2008-08A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE NATIVE FINANCIAL EDUCATION COALITION

Action Taken:NAIHC advocated throughout the year for increased awareness on the barriers to fruitful tribal economies such as predatory lending. NAIHC provided testimony to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs for the “Oversight Hearing on Predatory Lending in Indian Country.” These efforts were well received but due to issues relating to the U.S. economy, no new legislation was introduced in the 110th session.

#2008-09A RESOLUTION TO URGE CHANGES TO “LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT” LAW AND REGULATIONS TO ENSURE COMPETITIVE ACCESS BY INDIAN TRIBES AND TRIBALLY DESIGNATED HOUSING ENTITIES

Action Taken:NAIHC advocated for changes to the low-income housing tax credit program.

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 included provisions to modernize the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.

#2008-10A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE SUPPORT OF NAIHC TO ENABLE SMALL TRIBES TO BE INCLUDED ON THE USDA’S “DESIGNATED PLACE LIST FOR SECTION 515 HOUSING”

Action Taken:In 2009, after the change in Administration, NAIHC will engage USDA and congressional staff for their consideration of this issue and be prepared to act upon a recommended course of action.
