Choctaw Housing Employee to Join First Lady at State of the Union

Deborah Powell, Native American Development Specialist for the Housing Authority of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is among two-dozen guests who were invited to sit in First Lady Michelle Obama’s box at the State of the Union Address, according to a press release issued by the White House.

Powell, a member of the Choctaw Nation, is currently helping to track budgets and ensure bids for independent elderly homes. This project, which is still under construction, will provide homes for more than 86 elderly people in the Choctaw Nation, the release said.

The State of the Union is scheduled for tonight, beginning at 9 p.m. (EST).
