Featured updates
Housing is foundational. At NAIHC, we believe that housing protects families, preserves sovereignty, and strengthens Tribal Nations
This year, we are focused on highlighting the needs and impact of Tribal housing programs across the country. Our visits to communities nationwide have shown us how Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Tribally Designated Housing Entities stretch every dollar to ensure that Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians have access to culturally relevant, safe, and affordable housing.
While there is much hope and optimism about the future of housing and community development in Indian Country, Tribes remain vulnerable because the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996 needs reauthorization.
NAHASDA is essential for continuing to build homes and communities in a way that promotes tribal governance, self-sufficiency, and self-determination. The act has not been reauthorized by Congress since it expired in 2013.
Join us as we amplify voices across Indian Country and call on Congress to reauthorize NAHASDA.
