Description

Indigenous peoples in the United States face unique challenges in the home buying process due to historical and systemic barriers, including issues related to land rights, credit access, and economic disparities. Programs like the Covenant Homeownership Program aim to address these disparities by providing targeted support and resources. By acknowledging the historical context and providing tailored support, this program seeks to promote equity and homeownership opportunities for indigenous peoples, contributing to the broader goal of economic empowerment and stability within these communities.
