Have you ever been on a Indian reservation, or even driven through reservation territory. 22% of the native Indian population still live on reservations. The living conditions on the reservations are the same as those recognized in third world countries. We don't think about this and few have seen it or care to see it.
This week U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro took a step to change that, announcing a $5.9 million program to provide housing to homeless Native American veterans. The funding will be divided among 26 tribal communities in 12 states.

CPT (Join to see) A good atart but doesn't seem quite enough when divided up. I've seen reservations in WI and MN disgraceful conditions.

LTC Bink Romanick You're right. When you divide $5.9 million between 12 reservations it's not a lot of money. I hope that the money is used for what it is intended for....
