DELEGATE DAILY BRIEF | October 12, 2026

Yá’át’ééh shik’é,

Recent chapter discussions highlighted housing needs, veterans’ resources, and legislative updates.

🏠 HOUSING & COMMUNITY PRIORITIES
At the Red Valley planning meeting, community members raised questions about the $1 million Triple R warehouse project while families remain on waiting lists for homes, bathroom additions, and renovations. With the prior housing funding window ending September 30, identifying new funding and potential partners remains a priority.

🇺🇸 NORTHERN AGENCY VETERANS
The delegate report addressed a funding reduction of more than 60 percent and efforts that restored much of the funding needed for eligible Northern Agency veterans. Additional Navajo Nation resources are still needed to address remaining needs.

📜 DINÉ STOLEN VALOR ACT
The report also included discussion of Legislation 0180-26, the Diné Stolen Valor Act, and the importance of protecting the integrity of military service. Supporting chapter resolution language and a community education one-pager will help communities review the proposal.

NEXT STEPS
• Identify housing funding opportunities and partners.
• Continue work to address remaining veterans’ funding needs.
• Support community review and discussion of Legislation 0180-26.

Ahéhee’ to the chapter members who shared their concerns and priorities. Community input guides the work ahead.
