Description: Native CDFI’s are involved in addressing housing needs for the communities they serve. Many have close relationships with tribal housing authorities and/or local housing coalitions/organizations working to improve housing conditions on or near reservation communities.
Native CDFI’s are offering or considering offering many types of home loan products. This includes down payment assistance programs, home rehabilitation/improvement loans, mortgage brokering, housing construction loans and mortgage lending. There are many established housing loan programs which a NCDFI can utilize to meet the home ownership needs of their communities or they can develop their own specialized home loan products.
