    A lot of the Navajo live in homes without running water. With being the largest tribe in the United States comes the problems of caring for everyone. A problem that happens w a lot of families who have a home updated or rebuilt is that they cant afford the new value and end up losing their homes. This can't happen with the Yazzies. I'm really happy for the Yazzies but saddened by the fact that there are still a lot of families living in poverty on the Navajo Reservation.

      Much of the problems occur under is government administration. That's divided by underfunding and poor administration.

    O wow so glad this family was blessed with a beautiful home. I live on the reservation with my mom and kids. We have a nice house with running water, but no electricity. We on the list at our chapter house for electric but have been waiting 13 years now. We recently got solar panels 2 years ago but it's small and the payments for rent on it is outrageous. We keep asking the head of the chapter house " What going on with the electric now?". And he tells us he working on it. It's funny I saw their outhouse and brought back my memories of heading to restroom B4 bed with a flashlight and a stick. A stick for spider webs, lol.. So glad the family don't have to use the outhouse anymore...

    Unfortunately, there have been a lot of problems reported of this house. The house Extreme Makeover Home Edition built within one week lack good insulation. It was reported that during winter months, the Yazzie family could not get the temperature above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Tiles were falling off, flooring were peeling, air conditioning broke, water caused damaged, etc. Summertime were reported uncomfortably hot. Extreme Makeover Home Edition did a bad job. I read they no longer have running water as well.
