NAYA believes that homeownership and housing supports are critical for the economic stability of Portland’s Native American community. The Homeownership Program provides culturally specific financial wellness education, home buying education and one-to-one coaching. Last year, the fair hosted more than 200 families wanting to learn more about home purchase, homeownership and other community resources.

There will be an abundance of educational workshops, community partners’ tables, and networking opportunities. Since the first Fair in 2006, NAYA has awarded over $60,000 in down payment assistance grants used by 30 homebuyers.
