Building Momentum for NAHASDA Reauthorization
On November 20, 2025, the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) passed Policy Resolution 2026-04, “Housing is Foundational to the Success of the West,” which calls on Congress to consider reauthorizing the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) and expanding direct funding options for Tribal housing entities to meet critical housing needs in Native communities.
Their support of reauthorization reflects the continued opportunities for potential collaboration between NAIHC and WGA. Earlier this year, NAIHC participated in a WGA webinar on Tribal housing challenges and opportunities, which strengthened dialogue on how western states and Tribal governments can collaborate to expand housing access.
