About Us

Since 1995, Travois has been the leading American Indian housing and economic development financing firm in the nation.

During that time:

  • We helped our tribal clients build or rehabilitate over 3,500 houses.
  • We have brought $42 million in economic development funds to Indian Country.
  • We brought over $350 Million in private equity capital to Indian Country – funds for decent, safe and affordable housing that our clients do not have to pay back.
  • At the national level, we lobbied to amend the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program so that NAHASDA funds can be used seamlessly with Section 42.
  • At the state level, we worked with Arizona to create the nation’s largest tax credit set-aside specifically for Indian tribes, a set-aside that has been increased every year for the past three years.
  • We successfully lobbied the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency to set aside not less than 10% of its tax credits for tribal projects.
  • We successfully adapted the tax credit program for use by tribal colleges to house non-traditional students.

We are the only company offering development assistance, compliance support, design services, and comprehensive training to our Indian Country clients. We will help carry the load so that you can meet your housing and economic development goals!
