Founded in 1974, the National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC), a 501(c)(3) corporation, is the only national organization representing housing interests of tribes and housing entities across the United States. NAIHC is guided by a 10-member Board of Directors representing tribal housing agencies in nine geographical regions throughout the United States. NAIHC currently has 267 voting members, representing 458 Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages. NAIHC also has 29 associate and individual members, organizations and individuals who support our mission. NAIHC promotes, supports, and upholds tribes and tribal housing agencies in their efforts to provide culturally relevant, decent, safe, sanitary and quality affordable housing for Native people in American Indian communities and Alaska Native villages. Towards this end we provide training, technical assistance, research, communications and advocacy.
