Affordable Housing

For the past few years, the Native American Housing Fund on the Shinnecock Reservation has been repairing unsafe and 'sub-standard' housing with the help of donors from the neighboring communities on the South Fork. The Fund is a project of the Padoquohan Medicine Lodge whose officers include Elizabeth Thunder Bird Haile and Rev. Holly Haile Davis.

A trailer home on the reservation is now beyond repair and this fall the Fund has embarked on a project to replace it with a new house.

Banks can not issue mortgages for homes on an Indian reservation. Our help is needed now to ensure that this project is completed.

Contributions can be sent to:

Padoquohan Medicine Lodge, Inc.
