California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) Tribal Consultation Request

Federally Recognized Tribes are sovereign nations, with the inherent authority to govern themselves and engage in government-to-government relationships with federal and state governments.

Through Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-10-11, and Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-15-19, the State of California has acknowledged the state’s obligation to ensure its policies and programs consider the needs of tribal communities.

Cal ICH values the input and wisdom received from tribal governments for the development of legislation, regulations, rules and policies on matters that may affect tribal communities. Cal ICH’s tribal consultation guidelines can be found within the Business Consumer Services and Housing Agencies’ Tribal Consultation Policy.

To request additional information, or to request tribal consultation with Cal ICH, please fill out the below form.

After you submit your form, a Cal ICH representative will contact you within one week.

You may also reach out directly to Vevila Blossoming Bear, Cal ICH’s Tribal Liaison at (916) 510-9445 or Vevila.Blossoming@bcsh.ca.gov to request information or consultation.
