I have been doing this since 2005. My experience working with tribes to implement the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program has shown me the power of a team.
When Elizabeth and I started with Travois back in 2005, we were a much smaller company. Over time we have built a team of professionals who are ready to handle any challenge that comes your way. But the most important element of your development’s success is not our team. It is yours.
Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) are the best housing authorities in America. You serve families with the highest needs on the tightest budgets under the most difficult conditions. You never know, when you walk into your office, what challenge will be there to meet you that day. If you are an executive director you need your construction, finance, occupancy and other staff focused on meeting the day-to-day needs of your clients. That is your job: to serve the people.
That is where we come in. Travois’ clients have done $1.5 billion in tax credit development across Indian Country since 1995. We have done this as partners. We have done this together. It has not always been easy. But it has been worth it.
If you are considering your first LIHTC development, don’t worry. If you work with us, it won’t be your first. You can benefit from the experience of all of our past clients through us. If you are a seasoned veteran and you are ready to undertake new development, we can start writing the next chapter in your story of success. Get in touch with me today to move forward.
