The Tribal Nations Housing Development Assistance Program is designed to build on tribal nations’ existing capacity by providing the financial, knowledge, and technical resources needed to develop affordable housing programs and projects that respond to the unique needs of their communities.
The program provides flexible funding to help remove barriers to program participation and covers critical predevelopment expenses, responds to additional capacity building needs and opportunities, and helps bridge project financing gaps.
MSHDA retained the National American Indian Housing Council to offer a series of tailored trainings as well as one-on-one project and organizational technical assistance.
The program involves individual outreach to the 12 federally-recognized tribal nations that share geography in Michigan, followed by an assessment of the need in each participating nation. Need was determined by reviewing existing data that a participating nation has and/or has access to. The outreach and identification of need(s) informed the creation of a housing finance and development toolkit, tailored to the unique opportunities and challenges in tribal nations.
The second phase of the effort involved three two-day, in-person sessions in which the content of the toolkit was delivered to project teams from each participating nation. The sessions were a combination of direct training, peer-to-peer learning, and case studies. Topics included: affordable housing models, determining the need, the development process, assembling the development team, affordable housing financing programs and structures, operations budgeting, property management, culturally relevant design, construction management, and leasing a property. Additionally, individualized technical assistance plans were crafted for each participating team.
Intensive one-on-one technical assistance is offered to each participating nation, both between the sessions and after completion of the training series. The assistance covers project finance (e.g., identification of sources, supporting applications) and development (e.g., advancing project plans, predevelopment activities).
The program launched early in 2024, followed by toolkit development, delivery, and technical assistance throughout the year. Funds allocated to the program will be fully expended by the end of the third quarter in 2026, if not sooner.
