It suggests eliminating the Bureau of Indian Affairs, giving control of funds to democratically elected Indian leaders, and setting a ten-year cutoff for government support.

Despite efforts in the 1960s, housing conditions have not improved due to population growth, deteriorating housing, and lack of funding from HUD.

Froman criticized HUD for blaming processing delays on legal issues and Indian authorities, and called for legislation to address the unique trust relationship for Indian housing needs."]](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_8_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_8_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing the Housing Crisis: Testimony of Ronald Froman, Chairman of the National American Indian Housing Council")
