  • Meet Raymond Balone - a Navajo Vietnam War veteran who has been fighting for more than 10 years to secure stable housing. AWP's community branch on the Navajo Nation, Diné Naazbaa Partnership (DNP), met Raymond last year and learned about the challenges he's quietly fought by himself. DNP immediately got to work advocating on his behalf to help him end this decade-long housing issue.
    Visit DineNaazbaaPartnership.org or text "DNP" to 44-321 to donate and join the mission to improve the quality of life of veterans on the Navajo Nation. There are more veterans like Raymond who need your help.
    Diné Naazbaa Partnership is a community branch of America's Warrior Partnership.

    There's alot of veterans that need help on navajo nation, and it takes a long time for them to get help, even from chapter house too. Our people fight for us, and they shouldn't wait over 5yrs!

      It's not the Navajo nation issue.
      To help people understand how homes are built for people. They must go through a process.
      The Navajo nation consist of divided areas called Chapters. Each Chapter has an Elected mini council. People belong to these chapters and vote for their chapter officers.
      For people to get homes built. They must go to the chapter they reside in.
      They fill out the required forms and they go before the chapter council.
      The gentleman must attain a Homesite lease. Once the lease is approved.
      The land goes before the land inspection by the department that oversees archaeological sites. Fees must be paid in advance.
      Then once approved. The veteran house can be built.
      Now the process of who is going to build his home. Water . Electrical. Sewer and on and so forth.
      All of this must be spearheaded by someone.
      I understand the gentleman concern and his issues. But, it's the Chapter council that must answer as to why the veteran is not being placed ahead so his home can be built.

      They make the people jump through hoops, instead of having one office, one must go here and there.
