![["Senator Dewey Bartlett received a letter from Rachel Girdner regarding the poor condition of yards in the Lyons Switch community. The Housing Authority of Cherokee County had promised to fix the yards but had not done so. Some residents were delinquent in house payments, and there were discrepancies in who was allowed to live on Tribal Land without paying. Bartlett contacted the Department of Housing and Urban Development for assistance, and after an inspection, it was determined that corrective action was being taken for the eroded yards. Bartlett thanked the HUD director for his assistance and informed Girdner of the progress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_19_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_19_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns and Actions Regarding Housing Conditions in Lyons Switch Community")
![["The document addresses issues with welfare recipients in public housing receiving double subsidies and the problems facing the housing authority and its commissioners. It emphasizes the need for Don Bluejacket and the Senator to be aware of these issues and suggests meeting with the director for more information. It also mentions other topics that need to be discussed in person rather than over the phone or mail."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_19_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_19_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing Challenges and Solutions in Public Housing: A Letter to Mr. Don Bluejacket")
