Current Red Feather Programs
EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
We empower tribal members to weatherize their homes, make minor home repairs and other changes to their home environment that can improve
the health and safety of their entire family. Our free classes involve hands-on learning at student homes and free do-it-yourself starter kits.
NATIVE HOME RESOURCE NETWORK
We provide case management services to tribal homeowners that may include a home assessment, materials needed to address problems
themselves, or referrals to national financial assistance and local skilled professionals.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIAL PROJECTS
Whenever possible we hire and refer people from the local community to address housing needs. This often includes providing business and
professional training to supplement existing skills. On a limited basis, for elderly or disabled homeowners, Red Feather will finance and manage
home repair or accessibility projects, leveraging local volunteers and regional materials donations.
