During a Native-focused event at the recent NeighborWorks Training Institute (NTI), participants were quick to point out that if you’ve seen one tribe, you’ve seen exactly that: one tribe out of the diverse, 574 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. Their communities are diverse, too.

In California, a NeighborWorks network organization is developing San Francisco's first fully electrified affordable housing building while another helps drought-stricken communities when their wells run dry. In Minnesota, a network organization is prioritizing solar to help cut utility costs, both for the nonprofit and for the residents who live in their buildings. Meanwhile, in the South and Northeast, network organizations are creating buildings and homes that are resistant to flooding.
