National American Indian Housing Council - 2010 Indian Housing Handbook

The National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC), the only national Indian organization solely advocating on behalf of tribal housing issues, released its 2010 revised edition of the Indian Housing Development Handbook, which will serve as a valuable guide for tribal housing programs, federal and state government agencies, lenders, contractors, investors, attorneys and other housing professionals.

The handbook was first published in early 2009, shortly after Congress enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The 2010 edition updates the statutory and regulatory references and provides current information relating to federal budgets for tribal housing.

The author of the handbook, Brian Pierson, leads the Godfrey & Kahn's Indian Nations Law Team in Milwaukee. Mr. Pierson has nearly 20 years of experience representing tribes. His practice today focuses on housing, development of tribal legal infrastructure and Indian Country economic development.
