Our story
Your community is our purpose.
We exist to support Indigenous clients and follow their lead in building affordable housing and growing their economies. We start with “What can we do?” rather than “This is what we do.”
This ensures that our clients’ vision always leads the way. Success for us is creating communities where every family has a safe home and every person has a good job.
We will achieve it the only way we know how: working together.
Mission
Our mission is to help our clients create communities where every family has a safe home and every person has a good job.

- Native communities have more equitable access to private and public resources.
- Our internal and external partners have a shared understanding of and are collectively invested in supporting our clients’ visions.

- We meet the needs of our team members as whole people, so that they can more effectively meet the needs of our clients.

- Excellence: We hold ourselves to high standards in service of our clients and each other because we believe our work is important.
- Service: We help our clients no matter the size of the task with an attitude of humility and kindness.

- Sovereignty: We follow the lead of our clients with open minds and a belief that their vision is best for their community.
Our commitment to sovereignty
In our work, we see Tribal nations meeting historical and current manifestations of colonization, oppression, and violence with resilience and strength. However, we recognize that this fight to maintain and strengthen Tribal sovereignty is constant.
Because we are not a Native-owned organization, it is imperative that we steadfastly acknowledge this context and continually educate ourselves about the realities faced by those we serve. We are committed to standing with Tribal nations as they face these challenges, and we are dedicated to supporting a future defined by them.
Since 2019, we’ve been part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards for social and environmental impact.
Earning Certified B Corp status solidifies what we have practiced since the company’s beginning: We listen and provide the resources to help Indigenous leaders create healthy, affordable, and sustainable communities.
