Vision
Travois strives to improve the lives of indigenous peoples by providing the tools and resources to create healthy, affordable and sustainable communities.
WHAT WE DO
Founded in 1995, Travois is a mission-driven consulting firm focused exclusively on promoting housing and economic development for American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities.

Expertise. Our team members are proficient in the complex programs we work in, and we will help pull some of the weight, so you can meet your community’s needs.
Finance. We raise capital for affordable housing and economic development primarily through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program.
Support. Travois provides the guidance you need to ensure that your development secures financing, progresses through each milestone, and meets all regulations and requirements.
We are dedicated to helping clients successfully navigate a complex process — and create homes for families. Please watch a six-minute video below about the four steps that all LIHTC developments share and how our team members are involved at each step.
