Fannie Mae facilitates conventional mortgages for tribal land housing in San Ildefonso…
What happened
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the first 10 homes in the Deer Tail II subdivision in San Ildefonso Pueblo. This development, a partnership involving Fannie Mae, the San Ildefonso Housing Authority, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Homewise Inc., is the first housing built on the pueblo in 12 years. The project is also one of the first times homebuyers on tribal land are purchasing homes using conventional mortgages.
Why it matters
The availability of conventional mortgages on tribal land changes the financing landscape for Indigenous residents. This type of financing, which has typically been unavailable to Indigenous people on reservation land, expands housing options for local buyers.
