The Hopi Credit Association is not a traditional lender or bank. We are a Native CDFI lender who can work with higher-risk borrowers, including those who do not qualify for bank financing.
Our goal is to provide eligible and qualified applicants the means of improving their residential abode. It is recognized some homes may be aged and lack modern conveniences and need improvements such as installing electricity, water, new roof, refurbishing the interior, or adding new rooms. Financing will be available only for those homes situated within the boundaries of the Hopi Reservation.
