OUR WORK

Today there are over 1 million tribal members residing on American Indian reservations, 40% of whom live in homes that do not meet the federal standard for “adequate housing”.​

This compares to just 6% of the rest of the US population living in substandard housing.
​These conditions can exacerbate and even cause chronic health conditions, making it difficult to be productive at work or school.  Not having a healthy home is a root cause of numerous problems ​that put a strain on community resources.
We envision a world where healthy and safe housing is available to all and we are all inspired to work collectively to create self-sustaining communities.

​We partner with Indigenous communities to develop and implement lasting and impactful housing solutions. 

ABOUT US

We partner with homeowners, community members, and tribal agencies to:

  • Provide training and educational resources to strengthen local resiliency around healthy housing topics.   
  • Assemble funding, professionals, volunteers and materials to address each family's most urgently needed home health and safety repairs.
  • Repair and weatherize homes of the most vulnerable members of the community.

Every little bit helps. Give your spare change- the round-up amount on any dollar you spend- to build safer homes.​​
