Unlock Your Path to Self-Sufficiency!
The ROSS Program is here to help you and your family build a brighter future. Whether you’re planning for homeownership, improving your financial health, or seeking resources for long-term stability, we provide the tools and support you need to succeed. Together, we can create opportunities that strengthen our tribal communities and empower every household.

About the Program

The HUD ROSS Program aids Tribal members in achieving self-sufficiency by offering resources and services to enhance quality of life and financial stability.

Our mission is to empower tribal residents and families by providing individualized support and comprehensive resources. We aim to:‍

• ‍Promote homeownership‍‍
• Enhance financial literacy‍‍
• Ensure long-term housing stability

At this time, 62 homes are eligible for one-on-one services offered through this grant. However, demand for assistance significantly exceeds program capacity. We warmly invite you and your family to join us for upcoming community events. Stay connected by checking the event calendar in the Tribal Tribune, on social media, and on the Housing section of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes webpage.

What We Offer‍

• Financial Literacy: Learn to track income, manage expenses, and create a sustainable spending plan.
• Budgeting & Savings: Discover strategies for saving money, reducing debt, and improving credit scores.
• ‍Path to Homeownership: Understand the steps to buying a home, from saving for a down payment to securing a mortgage.
