NATIVE HOME RESOURCE NETWORK

Red Feather’s Native Home Resource Network (NHRN) is a case management program that helps Navajo and Hopi families resolve health and safety risks relating to their homes. Case managers first listen deeply to client needs, then determine what resources could be leveraged to provide solutions. This could be simply mailing an educational resource, referring a trades professional, or recommending a service provider. Other solutions require more extensive work, such as conducting home assessments, providing application assistance, recruiting and managing volunteers, and soliciting materials donations. We encourage clients to contribute their own resources to help solve the issue at hand. A lot of behind the scenes work goes into supporting the NHRN program, such as extensive data management, conducting research on new resources, providing capacity building for contractors, and developing and maintaining strategic partnerships. In 2020, we also saw an incredible jump in the number of volunteers that we were able to leverage, specifically in the construction and distribution of our handwashing systems for families without running water.

​While Federal dollars are allocated to tribes to assist with housing, the demand far exceeds the funding available.   Non-governmental organization resources that are available to help with home repairs are limited. Those that do exist are difficult to find, particularly for families on reservations who often don’t have electricity or running water, let alone internet access.  Once found, applying for assistance can be a lengthy and complicated process that is difficult to navigate.  Red Feather case managers know where resources can be found and understand the process for accessing them.  As far as we know, there are no other non-profits assisting Navajo or Hopi families either directly with home repairs, or helping them to find the resources to address them.
