Training & Technical Assistance

Tailored Training for Tribal Housing

The National American Indian Housing Council offers a variety of training and technical assistance options specific to the needs of the Indian housing industry. Training and technical assistance is available free of charge upon request of any Tribe or Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) who receives Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funding under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA). This service is made available through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Native American Programs (ONAP).

Training and technical assistance is customizable based on the needs of the requesting Tribe or TDHE. Training and technical assistance can be:

• In-person or virtual
• Classroom style training or individualized work groups
• A single session or multiple sessions over months or years, including cohort learning models
• Specific to a single Tribe, TDHE, or open to multiple groups
