![["Ms. Ann O'Loughlin wrote to Senator Dewey Bartlett requesting assistance in getting a house built by the Seminole Indian Housing Authority. Senator Bartlett responded, stating that there are 463 applications ahead of hers and it is uncertain when she might receive a house. Another letter from Bob Cannon, Chairman of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, discussed the challenges with finding an Indian Housing Authority to build homes in the area. The Comanche Housing Authority was identified as the most likely to complete the project, while other authorities were facing issues such as misappropriation of funds. HUD's role was to make houses available, and they were working with the Comanches to move the project forward."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_4_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973%20Mar/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_4_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Challenges in Indian Housing Development in Oklahoma")
