Opening Doors to Safe and Affordable Homes
The importance of having a home has for a family cannot be over-stressed. Housing affects a community’s health, education, and economic well-being. Blue Stone’s Housing Team works with tribal communities to improve housing conditions and homeownership opportunities that can be a crucial step towards improving the lives of all Tribal members.
Home. The Most Elemental of Needs.

Building and maintaining safe and secure neighborhoods is no small task for any community. Whether a family owns or rents, having available options that meet the needs of each Tribal member is critical.
