I applaud the House’s passage of my Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act today. For years, affordable housing opportunities on tribal trust land have been hard to come by due in part to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ challenging mortgage approval process. This bipartisan legislation, which now heads to the president’s desk, will expedite this mortgage approval process and encourage homeownership across Indian Country. Thanks to @SenatorRounds and @RepDustyJohnson for co-leading this bill with me.
