GAO SAYS HUD CAN IMPROVE TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
By Matt Sharp
Law360, New York (July 10, 2015, 7:40 PM ET) -- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development still has work to do to tackle Native American low-income housing challenges despite progress in providing technical training and support, a Government Accountability Office official said Friday. Daniel Garcia-Diaz, GAO's director of financial markets and community investment, told a U.S. House of Representatives hearing that HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing has successfully boosted training and assistance to affordable housing-focused Indian Housing Block Grant recipients but must continue working with other agencies on a coordinated environmental review process for tribal developments.

CENSUS BUREAU SCHEDULES TRIBAL CONSULTATION
Pursuant to Executive Order 13175, the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) plans to conduct eight tribal consultation meetings and one national webinar with federally recognized tribes across the country between October 2015 and April 2016. These meetings will provide a forum for tribes to share insights, make recommendations and discuss concerns related to the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau's procedures for outreach, notice and consultation will ensure involvement of tribes, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, before making decisions or implementing policies, rules or programs that affect federally recognized tribal governments. The Census Bureau requests that interested members of the public comment with any questions or topics they would like to see considered in these meetings.
Please click this link for details published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2015. Visit Census Bureau's American Indian and Alaska Native website at http://www.census.gov/aian/.
These meetings are open to members of federally recognized tribes by invitation.
