Promoting tribal sovereignty by allowing tribes to set maximum rent policies.
Allow tribes to set maximum rent policies to promote tribal sovereignty.
Occurrences
Evidence
Downing's March 26, 2026 press release on the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Modernization Act says a key provision would be 'allowing tribes to set maximum rent policies.'
Section 5 is titled 'Clarification of application of rent rule only to units owned or operated by Indian Tribe or tribally designated housing entity.'
Assessments
Downing introduced legislation in his current term that directly included the rent-policy change, so he made a concrete legislative attempt. But the evidence only shows a proposal and bill text, not enactment or implementation, so the promised outcome was not actually delivered.
