![["The document discusses proposed amendments to the United States Housing Act of 1937 submitted by the Indians of Western Oklahoma, aimed at allowing various Indian tribes to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Housing and Home Finance Agency is sympathetic but doubts the effectiveness of the proposed amendments in achieving this goal, as they may not provide the necessary governmental powers required for participation in the program. The document also highlights the lack of existing State legislation in Oklahoma to accommodate the creation of housing authorities for Indian Tribes. The document concludes by stating that further discussions and considerations may be necessary to address the housing needs of Indian tribal groups."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_56_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Housing,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_56_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Expanding Low-Rent Housing Program for Indian Tribes in Oklahoma")

The company is in need of working capital and the Bureau proposed a $20,000 investment from the tribe, with the community matching this amount. However, they also required certain measures to be taken, such as a moratorium on a local development company loan and an audit of company records.

Kilburn, and Albert Rains, are discussing proposed changes to the Housing Act of 1937 to allow Indian tribes in Oklahoma to participate in the low-rent housing program. The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation has recommended amendments to the act to eliminate discrimination against Oklahoma Indian Tribes. President Lyndon Johnson has also proposed expanding housing aid for low-income families as part of a campaign against poverty. The Task Force on Indian Affairs has recommended allowing Indian tribes to establish housing agencies and participate in the program.
