Navajo tribe members homeless in Phoenix during sober home crackdown.

Navajo law enforcement teams have made contact with over 270 Native Americans, mostly Navajo, who are living on the streets in the Phoenix area after the state cracked down on Medicaid fraud and suspended unlicensed sober living homes. Many tribal members accepted offers to stay in temporary housing or return home to their reservations. The Navajo Nation launched Operation Rainbow Bridge to help those affected by the closures of fraudulent sober living homes. Arizona officials believe hundreds of fake sober living homes are currently operating in the Phoenix area and other parts of the state.
