Partnership

How we can do it!

From the words of William Blake, “No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.” Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority believes in this truism all to well and realized a long time ago that in order to achieve our dreams, we could not go at it alone. As a result of this philosophy, THRHA is partnered with various non-profit and for-profit organizations to maximize funding dollars and provide the highest quality of service for our clients and tribal partners. We are very proud that our business partners have the confidence in our organization to do business with us, and to them we thank you!
