Grant Gaertner at 1st Tribal Lending has the expertise and experience to work with your Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) to expand homeownership and housing options on and off your reservation.

 

With the Section 184 loan, your tribe can build homes in phases of up to 20 at a time. Your TDHE can then chose to rent, lease to own, sell, whatever fits your members needs and abilities. There are no restrictions based upon members incomes so all members may be served. While the tribe qualifies for the Section 184 loan, the tribe can then setup an internal homeownership program for the members. When the members are ready and have the ability, they may apply to assume the Section 184 loan.

Overview

 

By taking advantage of the numerous sources of grants and financing, tribes can significant leverage up their housing program. Instead of just building or renovating a few homes every year, a TDHE can develop a project to serve the housing needs of dozens or even hundreds of their members.

 

Our mission is to support and promote increased housing opportunities on Native American reservations and we would be honored to work with you to achieve your housing goals.
