Mission Statement:

“Meet the needs of the Choctaw Nation as the Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) by promoting affordable quality homes, professional management services, and economic growth.”

Guiding Principles

  1. People Excellence Promote people excellence by providing skills assessment, career planning and personal improvement plans. Value learning in all employees and support individual and team growth through training plans, individual and team goals, and praise and reward systems. Demonstrate commitment to our employees with every action.

  2. Pride in CHA Speak with pride about the Choctaw Housing Authority when dealing with the general public, tribal offices and governmental affiliations, and fellow employees. Uphold the 8 Guiding Principles as a normal part of doing business. Respect CHA facilities and property. Demonstrate pride in the services offered by the Choctaw Housing Authority.

  3. Provide Quality Satisfaction and Timely Customer Service Improve customer satisfaction in housing delivery by streamlining services with Choctaw Nation housing programs, improving customer service and providing total quality homes. The Choctaw Housing Authority will concentrate on approachability and quality assistance in customer relations.

  4. Promote Opportunities for Resident Self-Sufficiency Provide incentives and goals for families residing in low-income housing by encouraging the development of resident organizations and on-the-job training programs. The Choctaw Nation will establish partnerships with non-profit organizations and other tribal agencies to develop a manufacturing plant to employ residents and low-income tenants.

  5. Improve Housing and Community Environment Provide education and training through the Homebuyer Education Program to families on the maintenance of their homes and improve housing areas through achieving equity through homeownership. The goal of the Choctaw Nation staff is to support tenant and residents in improving the appearance and enhancing the value of their homes, including drug prevention and crime prevention programs.

  6. Seek Alternative Funds Seek ways to become a self-contained full service housing mechanism through home ownership training models, mortgage lending capacity, loan servicing and partnering with other agencies. The reality of reduced federal funding forces the Choctaw Housing Authority to review ways in which funding from public and private financing may be utilized for housing development.

  7. Fulfill TDHE Administrative Capacity and Leadership Construct new homes on the Choctaw Nation. Coordinate planning and integrate housing development resources among housing providers to maximize benefits of NAHASDA funds.

  8. Promote Economic Growth Contribute to the Choctaw Nation economy base through the development and renovation activities by employing Choctaw construction workforce and extending contracts, subcontracts and purchase to Choctaw-owned businesses, with the overall long-range goal to turn over the NAHASDA funds at least ten (10) times on the Choctaw Nation.
