Today there are over 1 million tribal members residing on American Indian reservations, 40% of whom live in homes that do not meet the federal standard for “adequate housing”. This compares to just 6% of the rest of the US population living in substandard housing. These conditions can exacerbate and even cause chronic health conditions, making it difficult to be productive at work or school.  Not having a healthy home is a root cause of numerous problems that put a strain on community resources.
