Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority

In Southeast Alaska, 70% of Tribal citizens served by Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority are renters – nearly double the rate across Alaska and the U.S. Although many own land passed down through their families, almost no new affordable housing had been built in the region’s villages for 20 years.

In 2019, the region’s Tribes made housing a priority. Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority responded with Success Starts with Me, an innovation designed to prepare Tribal citizens to build and own homes on Tribal lands.
