Minnesota Tribal Collaborative

To Prevent and End Homelessness

A collaborative of nine tribes from Minnesota combining sovereignty, collaboration, and data to successfully pursue policy changes and fundraising goals aimed at preventing and ending homelessness in tribal communities.

Mission:

While honoring Tribal sovereignty, we will work together to maximize resources and obtain sustainable housing options through innovative efforts of our Tribal governments and communities.

Vision:

Through revisiting traditional values, we will address historical barriers and unique needs of our Tribal members and families to prevent and end homelessness.
