Operation HOME: Native American Youth & Family Center

Operation H.O.M.E.- Native American Youth & Family Center

The Native American Youth & Family Center (NAYA) in Portland, Oregon works to enrich the lives of our Native youth and families through education, community involvement, and culturally specific programming. We have provided educational services, cultural arts programming, and direct support to reduce poverty to the Portland Metropolitan Areas American Indian and Alaska Native Community for over 30 years.

NAYA's dedicated staff provides homeownership services to meet the communitys need for safe, affordable housing and works to increase homeownership opportunities for Portlands Urban Indian Community.

"Through our Native American Housing to Homeownership Fair, Homebuyer Education Classes and 1:1 Homeownership Coaching we have made connections with over 1,000 community members. These connections result in new Native home owners every year, just like Jackie, and those numbers will continue to grow."

-Sarah Libby
Homeownership and Resident Services Coordinator

THIS IS THE FIRST VID I'VE FOUND ABOUT HOW TO GET HELP IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN INDIAN. I hope that since I have found it, they will.
