1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>The chief has talked about the housing crisis that we

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>have in the Cherokee Reservation. They said, you know, we're

3
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.759
<v Speaker 1>not waiting around for the federal government to come and

4
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>rescue us. Where Cherokees we out front and center. You

5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>do the hard work, and we are building communities and

6
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>homes for people so I'll have a place to live.

7
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's you know, that's what And I

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>know that he's was the Sustainable Housing Act that I

9
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>think he's dedicated forty million dollars every three years to

10
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the effort of building more homes for Cherokee citizens. Well.

11
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>As a realtor, for many, many years, I've been involved

12
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>in housing and selling housing and trying to find people housing.

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And last few years I've been involved in building houses

14
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 2>down in Katusa, which is Cherokee Nation, right where the

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 2>hard rock is, and at one point there were a

16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 2>thousand people down there homeless. I'm drive by every day

17
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and it was just heartbreaking. I show property all over

18
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the Tulsa metro area in northeast Oklahoma, and it is everywhere.

19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>It is a crisis. It's been on the surface for

20
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>quite a long time. I'm saying, we've just got to

21
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>go out there and embrace every entity that we can

22
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>get working together to keep people off the street. We

23
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>cannot have our Cherokee families out on the street not

24
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>able to take care of their We don't want.

25
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>To see any families out on the street.

26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Have to make sure they have a place to live,

27
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>they have food, they have a job. We've all got

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>to step up and work together, and we need to

29
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>step up now and do it. We can't wait.

30
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.439
