Washington, D.C.

Kevin Klingbeil participated in the NAIHC Legislative Conference in Washington, DC in order to address data-related tribal issues and directly assist tribal housing staff in their efforts to convey their concerns to elected officials and agency staff regarding recognition of tribally collected data by federal programs and static tribal housing funding levels as well as present ideas to improve the deployment of federal grants and housing loans in Indian Country.  Kevin accompanied housing authority staff and representatives of the South Dakota Native Homeownership Coalition (SDNHC) to Congressional offices and met with senior staff from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
