READOUT: Treasurer Chief Malerba Outlines Biden-Harris
Administration’s Historic Support for Tribal Communities at the
National American Indian Housing Council’s Legislative
Conference
February 7, 2024

WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Treasurer Chief Lynn Malerba delivered keynote remarks at the
National American Indian Housing Councilʼs 2024 Legislative Conference. During her remarks,
Chief Malerba discussed the Biden-Harris Administrationʼs historic support for Tribal
communities, including e orts to strengthen housing security in Indian Country that
prevented a wave of evictions and foreclosures.
In December at the White House Tribal Nationʼs Summit, the Treasury Department released
the Tribal Housing Stability Report which found that President Bidenʼs economic agenda
stabilized housing markets in Indian Country and kept Native families in their homes.
Specifically, the report details how three programs implemented under the Biden-Harris
Administration – the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program, the
Homeowners Assistance Fund (HAF), and the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA1) program –
helped homeowners and renters in Tribal communities avoid foreclosure and eviction,
stabilized housing markets in Indian Country and surrounding regions, and strengthened local
and national economies. The new evidence and data presented in this report demonstrates
the measurable benefits of federal programs in increasing housing supply and security in
Indian Country.
