MWT Housing Department
Our Mission
The mission of the Mashpee Wampanoag Housing Department is to provide safe affordable housing to eligible tribal members, and other Native Americans who reside in the Tribe's service area. It is the Housing Department's mission to provide housing assistance and opportunities specific to the needs of the Native Americans living with The Wampanoag Community. The Housing Department will offer eligible members the choice to remain in existing housing or return to quality housing provided on ancestral lands; a place appointed to us by our Creator, and to encourage self determination and economic independence for all Native Americans.
