National American Indian Housing Council
Our Mission
To effectively and efficiently promote and support American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians in their self-determined goal to provide culturally relevant and quality affordable housing for Native people.
Honoring 30 Years of NAHASDA
Housing is Foundational. At the National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC), we believe that housing protects families, preserves sovereignty, and strengthens Tribal Nations.
This year, as we celebrate 30 years of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA), 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.
Join us as we amplify voices across Indian Country and call on Congress to reauthorize NAHASDA.
