Home Buyer Education and Leadership Training
We offer training sessions and workshops to build the capacity of tribal housing professionals, community leaders, and housing organizations in developing effective homeownership strategies and programs.
By empowering local leaders, the program aims to foster sustainable homeownership initiatives within Tribal communities.
Policy Advocacy
The Homeownership Coalition works with tribal, state, and federal policymakers to advocate for policies and initiatives that support and advance Tribal homeownership. By engaging in policy research, community consultation, and direct advocacy, the Coalition ensures that the unique needs of Native communities are represented in housing legislation and program design. This includes addressing barriers such as access to mortgage financing on trust land, supporting the development of culturally responsive lending products, and promoting long-term investments in sustainable housing. Through these efforts, the Coalition seeks to influence systemic change that creates pathways for more Native families to achieve the dream of homeownership while strengthening Tribal sovereignty and community well-being.
Outreach and Survey
The Homeownership Coalition's Outreach and Survey Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to support Tribal communities and tribal organizations in their pursuit of affordable and sustainable homeownership.
Through targeted outreach efforts, the Homeownership Coalition aims to engage directly with Tribal organizations, and community leaders to raise awareness about homeownership opportunities, provide education on the process, and foster collaboration.
Research and Development
THOCSW is dedicated to advancing homeownership opportunities on tribal trust lands. Through research and development, THOCSW identifies barriers and creates innovative strategies that expand access to financing and housing options for Native families. In addition to coordinating the sale and purchase of homes on leasehold land, the coalition also pursues the development of new housing projects that promote safe, sustainable, and culturally grounded communities.
