Native Americans

The Native American Housing and Services Advocacy Coalition (NAHSAC) is a newly united alliance of concerned individuals, small businesses, nonprofits, and advocates dedicated to addressing the critical need for housing and services for underserved Native Americans, particularly urban Natives who represent 88% of this population in California. Rooted in our commitment to justice, equity, and cultural preservation, we strive to combat the devastating effects of historical trauma and systemic discrimination that have left many Native Americans in severe poverty, homelessness, and without essential resources.

NAHSAC fights tirelessly for their rights to housing, health, and human services, amplifying the voices of those who cannot speak for themselves—whether due to resource limitations, the lingering impact of trauma, or their deeply held traditions of peace and humility. Through advocacy, collaboration, and culturally sensitive solutions, we aim to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity to Native American communities across the nation.

The Native American Housing and Services Advocacy Coalition (NAHSAC) created rescuedeervalleyfacts.com to shine a light on the truth and counter the misinformation being spread by RescueDeerValley.com, a small but vocal group of Rescue neighbors opposing these urgently needed Native American projects. These projects address homelessness, poverty, and the effects of historical trauma experienced by Native Americans—issues that cannot be ignored any longer.

Few individuals or organizations have had the courage to stand against rescuedeervalley.com, but NAHSAC refuses to remain silent. We stand firm in advocating for what is just and necessary: housing and services for Native Americans, many of whom are living in severe poverty or are unhoused due to a long history of systemic discrimination and trauma.

We are especially grateful to Assemblymember James Ramos, chairman of the California Native American Legislative Caucus, the only legislator with the courage to publicly support these projects and speak the truth. His unwavering dedication to justice and the Native community inspires us all. Whether you are Native or non-Native, Ramos’s leadership makes you proud. We proudly dedicate this website to him and to all vulnerable Native Americans in need of housing and services.

For those who care about history, we understand the deep scars of historical trauma that have led to the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and substance use. This cycle must end, and NAHSAC is committed to being part of the solution. That’s why we are fact-checking every post circulated by rescuedeervalley.com. Their opposition and tactics, in our opinion, reflect arrogance and a lack of understanding of the critical need for these projects.

We invite you to explore this website, where we present not only the facts but also the media coverage that highlights the importance of these Native-led initiatives. Together, we can counter misinformation, fight for truth, and ensure a brighter future for Native American communities.
