The Department of Housing and Urban Development's policy to promote
the general welfare by meeting the national goal of providing decent,
safe and affordable housing for lower-income Native American, Alaska
Native and Native Hawaiian families is administered by the Office
of Native American Progams (ONAP).
ONAP ensures that safe, decent and affordable housing is available
to Native American families, creates economic opportunities for
Tribes and Indian housing residents, assists Tribes in the formulation
of plans and strategies for community development, and assures fiscal
integrity in the operation of the programs.
The Department is committed to vesting in Tribally Designated Housing
Entities (TDHEs) the maximum amount of responsibility for administering
their housing programs. To accomplish this objective, the Department
consults with American Indian and Alaska native governments, TDHEs
and national Indian and Native Hawaiian organizations when developing
legislation, regulationis and policies that affect tribes.
The Department also encourages the development of mutually beneficial
partnerships designed to assist Native Americans by expanding homeownership
and affordable housing opportunities; empowering residents of Indian
housing through the creation of jobs and economic development opportunities;
enforcing fair housing opportunities; making Indian housing development
drug-free; and helping to end overcrowding and homelessness. More
