INDIAN HOUSING

摘要

Housing Authority of Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians v. U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development, 2015 WL 176426 (D. Nev. 2015), was a decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada declaring that HUD had the statutory authority to issue regulations allowing it to exclude certain units no longer under the control of Indian tribes from the calculation of block grant funds for Indian housing. The court further decided that the exclusion of units could not extend to units whose 25 lease arrangements between the tribe and the resident family had expired. Finally, the court decided that HUD had the right to recoup Indian housing funds that were mistakenly paid without the need to follow statutory notice and hearing requirements.
