The Senate Indian Affairs Committee held a field hearing on August 25 discussing “Overcrowded Housing and the Impacts on American Indian and Alaska Natives.” The hearing, held in Savoonga, AK, included witnesses from local health, education, government, and housing entities. Overcrowding is prevalent in tribal areas, with nearly 16% of American Indian and Alaska Native households living in overcrowded conditions, compared to 2.2% nationally. An overview of the hearing will be provided in next week’s edition of Memo to Members & Partners. Learn more about the hearing at: https://bit.ly/2Muauc6
