Building Wealth, Building Community

We align with key funding partners in achieving transparency, enhancing outreach, and building capacity. Our approach is collaborative to create sustainable systems to solve unmet basic human needs.

Our Mission

  • Affordable homeownership for disinvested, underserved, and marginalized Native communities
  • Breaking the cycle of housing and economic instability through smart home procurement and rehabilitation
