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.

We are writing to inform you that the waiting list for the First Light Housing Development is currently closed. Due to the high demand for affordable housing in our community, we have reached capacity for our current project.
We understand that this news may be disappointing for those who were hoping to apply. We appreciate your interest in First Light and encourage you to continue to stay informed about future housing opportunities in our area.
We will provide updates on when the waiting list may reopen and any new housing developments in the future.
