About
The Native American Housing Circle (NAHC) was formed in 2019 as a community response to the overrepresentation of Native Americans experiencing homelessness and housing instability in the Denver Metro area. Since 2019, NAHC has been working as a community coalition of Native-led and Native-serving community organizations, community members, and allies who advocate and create affordable housing opportunities and direct services for Native American people experiencing homelessness and housing instability in the Denver Metro area.
Improving housing for the Native American community
NAHC collectively works to be a community-driven coalition, meaning everyone who takes part in the work gets to take part in decision making. This ensures that all voices are heard equally and that anyone in our community who contributes can take ownership of the coalition and our work. Together we ensure that the NAHC is able to fulfill our mission when all of members move a shared purpose forward, for the betterment of our community.
