Project Description
The Warm Springs Housing Authority (WSHA) is a tribally designated housing entity for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs (CTWS) that promotes affordable housing activities on the reservation and in other Indian areas for occupancy by low-income Indian families, ensures tribal members have access to private mortgage markets and promotes the development of private capital markets in Indian country, and merges infrastructure plans and resources with housing development for tribes.
The Warm Springs Housing Study and Needs Assessment will provide the background necessary to develop a comprehensive housing plan that meets the needs of current and future community members. The household survey seeks to gather accurate information about the residents and households of the Warm Springs Reservation which will ensure that CTWS’s divisions and programs have up-to-date information to guide decision making while also helping the tribe build tribal data collection capacity.
