Use the excerpt from the story titled Facing the Future to answer the question.

Facing the Future

Housing is another huge need. The nation needs at least 12,000 more homes. Yet even people with homes lack basic necessities. “We have people who are living without electricity and without propane fuel,” Brewer notes. Widespread poverty and unemployment make other troubles worse. Crime and addiction are significant problems for the tribe. Children suffer the most.

Sadly, the state of South Dakota can complicate matters more if it places children who need foster care into nonnative homes. "We'd like to have our own facilities to care for these children and guarantee they would keep [connected to] their culture," says Brewer. However that would take money—something they lack.

The author’s point is the Oglala Sioux Tribe faces many challenges today. Which piece of evidence is given regarding the challenges faced with housing?
