SERVICES

At SWNAC, we provide a comprehensive range of services that strengthen financial wellness, expand access to homeownership, and support long-term economic resilience in tribal communities. Every program is built with cultural relevance at its core and tailored to address the unique needs, histories, and opportunities of Native individuals and families.

We offer one-on-one financial counseling and customized financial wellness plans, helping community members gain confidence in budgeting, savings, debt management, and credit improvement. Our approach recognizes the cultural context of money, assets, and decision-making in Indigenous communities.

Our homeownership programs guide individuals and families through every step of preparing to purchase a home, including:

• Understanding mortgage processes
   
• Navigating trust land and tribal housing systems
   
• Building creditworthiness
   
• Connecting with tribal housing partners and lending institutions
   

We equip tribal staff, community leaders, and partner organizations with the skills and resources needed to deliver financial literacy, asset-building, and homebuyer education within their own communities. These Train-the-Trainer workshops help expand capacity, strengthen local expertise, and increase community-wide impact.

SWNAC’s work goes beyond education and training — we empower individuals to take control of their financial futures while honoring ancestral knowledge, cultural identity, and community strength. Our goal is long-term, sustainable economic stability that supports families today and for generations to come.
