Kent Conrad
The Public Record
Kent Conrad is a former United States Senator from North Dakota, serving from 1993 to 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he was known for his work on fiscal policy and budget issues, particularly as the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Throughout his tenure, Conrad advocated for responsible budgeting and was involved in discussions surrounding Social Security and healthcare reform. He played a significant role in shaping policies that impacted both North Dakota and the nation as a whole.
I am pleased that in 1996, Congress passed NAHASDA, which allows tribal housing authorities greater autonomy to design housing plans that suit their needs.
NAHASDA points to local control and local solutions to address the housing crisis facing so many in Indian country.
The Senator would like to know your thoughts on whether the act should be amended to provide authority for an emergency reserve fund.
Native Americans face some of the worst housing conditions in the United States, and overcrowding is common.
