Honoring Tribal Veterans Through Sustainable and Affordable Housing Solutions

At Operation Tiny Home, we are humbled by the sacrifices made by tribal veterans who have served our country. It's troubling to learn that despite their high participation in the military, many tribal veterans face significant challenges in accessing essential resources such as medical and mental health care and are at a greater risk of homelessness.

We believe that every veteran deserves a place to call home, and our tiny homes offer more than just shelter. They provide tribal veterans with a sense of ownership, community, and connection to their cultural heritage and ancestral lands.

At Operation Tiny Home, we feel privileged to stand alongside these courageous men and women and create a positive impact in their lives, one tiny home at a time. By providing affordable and sustainable housing solutions, we aim to empower tribal veterans and honor their service to our country. Our work is more than just building homes; it's about building a sense of community, connection, and hope for a better future for our tribal heroes.

From Sacrifice to Stability: How Tiny Homes are Providing a Path to Homeownership for Tribal Veterans


Did you know that tribal veterans serve at the highest per capita rate of any ethnic group in the U.S.? Nearly one in four tribal men and women have served in the armed forces. They have also earned the Medal of Honor at a higher rate than any other ethnic group, with a total of 32 recipients.

However, despite their high participation in the military, tribal veterans face significant challenges, especially when it comes to accessing medical and mental health care. Over half of the tribal veterans live in rural areas with limited access to VA facilities, making it difficult to get the support they need.

Even more troubling is the fact that tribal veterans are twice as likely to experience homelessness than any other ethnic group in America. Only 17% of tribal veterans are homeowners, compared to over 60% of the general population. More than 2000 tribal veterans are homeless on any given night.

This is a heartbreaking reality for those who have sacrificed so much for our country. But at Operation Tiny Home, this is a problem we can solve. We are committed to eliminating the number of homeless tribal veterans, one tiny home at a time.

One of the most significant advantages of tiny homes is their affordability. For tribal veterans who may be struggling with limited resources, a tiny house can be a cost-effective way to own a home and build equity.

Additionally, since tiny homes are typically built on a trailer or skids, they can be moved if necessary, providing additional flexibility to those needing to relocate for work or family reasons.

Tiny homes can also provide tribal veterans with a sense of stability and connection to their community. For veterans living in rural areas, tiny homes can be built right on their land, providing a sense of ownership and a connection to the land. This can be particularly meaningful for tribal veterans who have a strong connection to their cultural heritage and ancestral lands.

We believe that every veteran deserves a home, and we are honored to work with tribal veterans to make that a reality.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Join us in our mission to eliminate homelessness among tribal veterans. Let's make sure that they have a place to call home.
