Many tribes have tribal housing authorities.
These are agencies that use federal funding to provide affordable housing to tribal members. Housing authorities may run several types of housing programs for tribal members, including MHO home ownership programs. MHO participants are actually purchasing the property. When the person has paid in full for the house, or when the entire project pays off, MHO homebuyers will receive property deeds. HUD oversees the program and makes sure that the housing authority is properly following the law.
