If you follow our Instagram feed, you know we get to travel to America’s most beautiful destinations. My colleagues can tell some great stories about hikes, rides and other ways they have explored with our clients.

I’m sure many of you are loading backpacks and packing lunches as summer winds down and school begins.

We’re halfway through our big anniversary year of celebrating 20 years in business and $1 billion of investment in American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities.
This month, we are looking at the impact the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program has had on Native communities.

Travois is proud to be a board member of the New Markets Tax Credit Coalition. Congratulations to our fellow board members — and a big shout out to our partners Rapoza & Associates — on the completion of our most recent progress report.

Many of you have heard that tax reform remains a topic of discussion in Washington, D.C. If Congress contemplates any changes to the tax code, we want to be sure the tax credit programs you use to bring much need affordable housing and economic development to Indian Country remain strong.

Travois has a culture of impact measurement and monitoring. Unlike a lot of other investment firms, we measure the return on investment we deliver to our partners in more than one way.

Many communities in the United States are undergoing an uptick in the construction of new housing. Despite national policy efforts and individual innovations, health care costs also continue to rise.

There’s one week until the AMERIND/National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC) Annual Convention & Trade Show!

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe works hard to keep its language vibrant. Our friends at the tribe have told us the translation of Itom Hiapsi: our heart.
That is what the words mean in English. But, more importantly, we are seeing what the Itom Hiapsi project means to American Indian families.

Time flies when you are having fun. And it’s been fun to watch Coastal Village Region Fund (CVRF) create hundreds of jobs and millions in new earnings for Alaska Native fishing families.
