Summary

(This measure has not been amended since it was passed in the Senate on November 8, 2005. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Native American Housing Enhancement Act of 2005 - Amends the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 to prohibit the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from restricting access to the housing grant amount for any Indian tribe based solely on: (1) whether the recipient for the tribe retains program income; (2) the amount of any such program income retained; (3) whether the recipient retains certain reserve amounts; or (4) whether the recipient has expended retained program income for housing-related activities. (Currently the Secretary is also prohibited from reducing the amount of the grant based solely on one of such factors.) Provides that title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (nondiscrimination under federally assisted programs) and title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing) shall not apply to actions by federally recognized Indian tribes (or their instrumentalities) under this Act. Amends the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act to make Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, or other agencies primarily serving Indians eligible for Youthbuild grants. Terminates the current ineligibility of such entities for Youthbuild grants at the end of FY2005.
