senate 07/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to streamline the environmental review process for certain housing assistance programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, while also expanding the ability of federally recognized Indian Tribes to assume these environmental review responsibilities. This aims to make housing development more efficient and responsive to local and tribal needs.

More bureaucracy wrapped in shiny words—HUD just loves meddling everywhere.

Finally, some respect for tribal sovereignty—HUD isn’t the boss of Native lands anymore.

Environmental reviews done right, with the voice of the communities that matter most.

This bill balances environmental caution with housing needs—progress, not perfection.

Streamline the process, but don’t bulldoze the environment or local input.
