Tribal Housing Authorities

Tribal Housing Authorities are organizations established within Native American tribes to manage and oversee housing programs on reservations. They operate similar to public housing agencies, providing affordable, safe, and adequate housing options for tribal members. Funded by federal agencies like the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), these authorities aim to address unique housing needs, promote community development, and preserve cultural integrity. They handle tasks such as building homes, maintaining properties, and administering rental assistance, all while respecting tribal sovereignty and local traditions.
