Our Mission
To advocate for and support the creation of housing and services for Native Americans, focusing on ending the cycles of homelessness, poverty, and substance use through education, collaboration, and action.
About Us
Who We Are
NAHSAC was founded to give a voice to Native Americans who have been silenced for far too long. Many live in severe poverty or are unhoused due to the lasting impact of historical trauma, systemic neglect, and discrimination.
Our coalition brings together stakeholders from all walks of life—Native and non-Native—who are committed to justice and equity. Whether you are a concerned citizen , a small business owner, or part of a nonprofit, or for profit entities, there is a place for you in this fight.
Why it Matters
Native Americans are one of the most underserved populations in the United States. A staggering percentage live in urban areas, away from reservations, where access to culturally sensitive services is scarce. NAHSAC works to change this narrative by ensuring Native Americans have access to housing, health care, and resources that reflect their unique needs and traditions.
Advocacy and Action
We Amplify the Voices of Native Americans by:
• Fact-Checking Misinformation: Countering false narratives and opposition, particularly from groups like RescueDeerValley.com.
• Advocating for Legislation: Supporting policies and programs that increase housing and services for Native Americans, including the efforts of leaders like Assemblymember James Ramos.
• Raising Awareness: Educating the public about the effects of historical trauma and the urgent need for solutions.
Current Projects We Are Supporting:
• Youth Perinatal Residential Facility: A culturally sensitive facility designed to support young Native mothers and break cycles of poverty.
• Adult Residential Facility for Women: Housing and services for Native women, including veterans.

The Truth Behind the Opposition
Our dedicated site, RescueDeerValleyFacts.com, was created to counter the misinformation spread by a small group of neighbors opposing Native American projects in Rescue, California.
These projects are critical to addressing homelessness, poverty, and substance use among Native Americans, yet they face significant pushback rooted in misunderstandings and, in some cases, prejudice.
Explore the Facts:
• Myths vs. Reality about Native American housing projects.
• Media coverage showcasing the importance of these initiatives.
• Assemblymember James Ramos’s letter of support.
