Project including the acquisition, pre-development, and development of an Inter-Tribal Elder Village (Ukiah, CA.) for elders receiving Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payments (SSI/SSP).
For many indigenous communities, elders are the last keeps of language, tradition, and culture. Our vision for this project is to create a safe space that will promote the preservation and passing of these teachings. This space, to be specifically designed "by the elders, for the elders". The proposed development will include 12 handicap-accessible residential units with a centralized shared building for recreation, services, and meeting space. 
The Inter-Tribal Elder Village will be overseen by NCIHA's Resident Services and Empowerment and Supportive Services Department staff. Additional services to support the residents of the Inter-Tribal Elder Village will be offered through partnerships with local agencies, organizations, and non-profits that provide health care, culture, and traditions. 

This project was made possible with funding from the California Department of Social Services Community Care Expansion (CCE) program. The CCE program is part of a statewide effort to expand the State’s housing and care continuum, improve treatment outcomes, and prevent the cycle of homelessness or unnecessary institutionalization.
