HOUSING PROGRAMS

Running Strong works to find innovative housing solutions for American Indian families.

There is a shortage of housing on Indian reservations across the US.

In 2003, it was estimated that approximately 90,000 Native American families were homeless or under-housed.

Overcrowding is a constant problem and it is not uncommon to find a family of ten or more living in a small trailer on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Running Strong supports many programs to help the situation including:

• building new environmentally friendly homes suitable to life on the reservation
• homeowner education programs, including assistance with financing and credit counseling
• assistance with major home repairs.

Through our programs, Running Strong hopes to foster self-sufficiency, a sense of pride, and suitable housing for American Indian children.

Running Strong works with and supports these grassroots organizations and projects in their efforts to bring innovative housing solutions to Indian Country:

Homes for Heroes	Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota
Oglala Sioux Tribe Partnership for Housing	Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota
