A History of Service and Commitment
The Northern Ponca Housing Authority was established with one goal in mind: to provide safe, affordable housing for families in need. Over the years, we’ve grown to meet the evolving needs of our community, introducing programs that promote self-sufficiency and empower families to achieve homeownership.
From our tax credit housing developments to initiatives like THOP, which helps tenants transition into homeowners, our programs are designed to create long-term stability and opportunity. We are also deeply committed to our elders, with dedicated housing complexes that provide comfort, security, and a sense of community.
Every project, program, and partnership is a step toward building a brighter future for Native American families and preserving the cultural values that bind us together.
Our Team
LEADERSHIP DEDICATED TO MAKING AN IMPACT
Our team is made up of individuals who share a common passion for serving others and making a difference. Together, we work to ensure that every family we serve has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
The Northern Ponca Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners plays a vital role in shaping the vision and direction of our organization. Their leadership ensures that we stay focused on our mission while addressing the evolving needs of the community.
From program coordinators to housing specialists, our staff is dedicated to providing compassionate, effective support for Native American families. Whether helping tenants navigate housing applications, guiding families toward homeownership, or managing elder housing programs, our team is here to serve.
