Roof and wall patching
Across the Eastern Navajo Nation, many families live in unsafe, overcrowded, or deteriorating housing. At St. Bonaventure Indian Mission, we believe every family deserves a safe, stable place to call home. Our housing programs address both urgent home repairs and long-term affordable housing solutions to meet this critical need.
Home Repair Program
Many Navajo families live in structures with leaking roofs, broken windows, or walls with no insulation. Through our Home Repair Program, we provide the materials and labor needed to make homes livable again.
This work helps protect families from extreme weather and supports dignity and safety in everyday life.
Affordable Housing
To expand access to long-term, affordable housing, we manage a mobile home park in Thoreau, NM for very low-income families.
Each home represents a fresh start for families—especially elders and those with young children—seeking stability, security, and self-reliance.
Door and window replacements
Wheelchair ramp installation
Sanitation improvements, including replacing outhouses
Our work goes beyond construction — it’s about changing lives
Andy Bodie, living in a remote area of the reservation, faced life-threatening cold each winter. After back surgery, our team built him a wheelchair-accessible ramp and completed critical repairs to his hogan so he could live independently and safely.
