- Description:
- The document discusses the mutual self-help housing program sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for Cherokee Indian families in Oklahoma. It mentions that some families are facing eviction due to falling behind on payments, despite facing financial difficulties. The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma has constructed housing units and is preparing to advertise more units. The program has had a positive impact on the community by providing job opportunities and improving the lives of participants' children. The Authority acknowledges past problems but is working on solutions. The ultimate goal is to provide adequate housing for all people living in substandard conditions. The program is based on ability to pay, with monthly payments ranging from $12 to $125.
