Meskwaki Housing Program

What We Do

The Meskwaki Community is a unique blend of customized fabrications of single-family dwellings. The foundation of each home serves as a sign of safety and security which strengthens cultural ties. Our staff consists of skillful and experienced people to serve the needs in repair and maintenance of existing structures, construction of new homes, and daily operations. Our workforce is held to evenhanded operations to ensure homes are maintained, the department is sustained, and the community housing needs are met.
