about us
mission statement
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for the Laguna people, while preserving the culture and traditional heritage. |
 |
our work
Our programs are developed by consulting with the tribal government and community, in collaboration with federal, state and local governments. We strive to provide housing-related opportunities reflecting the range of traditional and modern values of the community. We are committed to respecting Pueblo traditions and supporting individual Village choices regarding their housing needs. Since 1997, LHDME has served as the Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) and provides housing related planning, development, construction, and management for the Pueblo of Laguna.

In the past year, we have placed 18 rental and 4 lease/purchase modular units, as well as successfully rehabbed 34 privately owned units. We continue to manage 79 Tax Credit Project units, the 40 unit Rainbow Village apartments, as well as 35 lease/purchase units not yet conveyed and 26 Mutual Help units. Three areas of concentration exist within the organization:
- Administration -- Oversees the administration and financing of the overall organization.
- Construction Management Office -- Develops and implements new construction and rehabilitation projects.
- Tenant Service Office -- Conducts the application process and guides residents through the process of receiving housing services.
As the TDHE, we offer housing-related programs which address the social, economic, health and welfare needs of the Pueblo. Housing opportunities are available to low-income individuals and families through our man aged housing stock, which includes homeownership, rental units, and lease/purchase units. We also provide other lending opportunities for middle to high-income tribal members of the Pueblo of Laguna.
our vision
We are working towards a future where homes are a source of pride and consistently reflect the traditional values of the Pueblo. LHDME is also committed to:
- Promoting green design and energy efficient buildings to replace inadequate and unsustainable housing.
- Developing location efficient communities that maintain traditional values, as well as access to amenities and employment.
- Assisting in the improvement of the community’s health and safety, especially children and other vulnerable populations by providing adequate housing opportunities.
- Contributing to the economic development and job creation, while enhancing and preserving the community.
