NCAI Calls Upon HUD to Engage in \u2018Meaningful\u2019 Government-to-Government Consultations<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cedar Band of Paiutes today applauded the National Congress of American Indians\u2019 (NCAI) resolution responding to the Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) issuance of Mortgagee Letter 19-06 on April 18, 2019. The HUD Mortgagee Letter attempted to assert that \u201ctribes are acting in their governmental capacity only on their reservations or when working with enrolled members.\u201d HUD\u2019s Mortgagee Letter was eventually withdrawn in response to successful litigation brought by the Cedar Band of Paiutes.<\/p>\n

The resolution, titled \u201cHUD Consultation Before Proceeding with Rule Making Relating to Tribal Down Payment Assistance Programs,\u201d was adopted by the NCAI General Assembly at its 2019 Annual Session in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In its resolution, NCAI called on HUD to engage in meaningful consultation with tribal nations before commencing rulemaking, and to refrain from discrimination against tribal nations or any actions that are deleterious to tribal sovereignty. NCAI\u2019s official position further underscores how HUD\u2019s actions had a substantial direct effect on all tribal nations\u2014including the Cedar Band of Paiutes\u2014and sought to limit the ability of a tribe to operate in a governmental capacity.<\/p>\n

The Cedar Band of Paiutes wholly owns and operates Cedar Band Corporation and CBC Mortgage Agency (CBCMA), which provides secondary financing to homebuyers receiving loans from the Federal Housing Authority. The Band relies on the revenues derived from CBCMA and other Band enterprises to sustain the Band\u2019s essential government functions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHUD\u2019s actions were a direct violation of the agency\u2019s own Government-to-Government Tribal Consultation Policy,\u201d said Delice Tom, chairwoman of the Cedar Band of Paiutes. \u201cHUD\u2019s unilateral actions would have had a ruinous impact on our Band and negatively impacted the hundreds of other tribal nations around the country seeking innovative and sustainable ways to support their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cedar Band of Paiutes also highlighted that the recently passed U.S. House of Representatives T-HUD appropriations bill, included language strengthening the process for federal agencies to consult with tribal nations.<\/p>\n

While HUD has indicated that it intends to proceed with rulemaking, Chairwoman Tom further highlighted the importance of appropriate consultation in the nascent stages of the process. \u201cWe fully expect HUD to engage in a meaningful and collaborative process with the Cedar Band, as well as other Indian Nations and National Tribal organizations before drafting a rule affecting tribal nations, consistent with HUD\u2019s own Tribal Consultation policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
