USDA Expands Local Partnerships to Increase Homeownership Opportunities for Native Americans
October 16, 2023
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development Roger Glendenning announced the Department is partnering with eight Native Community Development Financial Institutions (NCDFIs) to expand homeownership opportunities for Native Americans living on Tribal lands in eight states.
“Well-built, energy-efficient, affordable housing is essential to the vitality of communities in rural and Tribal America,” Glendenning said. “Since 1949, USDA has helped provide homes for people living in rural and Tribal communities, and our partnership with Native Community Development Financial Institutions strengthens that legacy. That’s why we are proud to partner with these expert organizations to help us continue driving economic security and prosperity for people in Tribal communities across the nation.”
