Native Home Resource Network and Housing Repair Updates

8/10/2020

 
2020 Number of homes improved:  16

​2020 Total Value of improvements:  $64,639
Red Feather’s NHRN program provides case management services to families in need of critical home health and safety repairs.  The importance of this program has become even more significant, as we have seen individuals with poor housing conditions suffer complications with COVID-19 at significantly higher levels than those living in well maintained homes. 

Sadly, our ability to implement housing repairs has been nearly halted to reduce the risk of spreading the virus between our housing repair contractors and families being helped. Additionally, for many months, our partner communities have had strict shelter-in-place rules, along with roadblocks keeping non-residents from entering.  However, through strong advocacy and careful planning, we are now starting to get approvals for returning to work.   Below are a few pictures from some of the projects we were able to complete prior to and during the virus.

Sharon Granger Project:

...and improvements after
Sharon Granger’s project was first brought to you back in April.   Her house was almost destroyed by fire. She is a single mom with a beautiful son who has special needs (wheelchair dependent). As you can see from the pictures below, the fire almost gutted the entire home.  Construction work on the Granger home is still in progress due to the severity of the fire damage, but it is on schedule to be completely remodeled by the end of August 2020.  ​

Red Feather has been contacted by hundreds of families looking for help.  And while we do not have the capacity to solve all these cases, we are doing our best one case at time.  Our work would not be possible without your generous support.  ​

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:​ The Red Feather program office sits in an area that is sacred to over 14 local tribes, including the Diné, Hopi, Havasupai, Hualapai, Zuni, Pueblo, and Kaibab-Paiute peoples. Some of these nations are represented among the Red Feather staff, and some not. We humbly acknowledge this area’s Indigenous nations, original stewards and Native descendants who will forever know this place as home. We share a responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, cultures, and histories that make up our community. *Adapted from the Flagstaff City Council land acknowledgement developed by the Indigenous Commission
