WASHINGTON, DC – The National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC) applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for its strong bipartisan passage of the Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act of 2025, led in the House by Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD). The legislation passed the House on March 4, 2026, by a vote of 384–40, marking a major step toward improving access to homeownership for Native American families living on Tribal trust land.

The Senate previously approved the measure in December 2025, and with final passage in the House the bill now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
