Episode Description:
Navigating the complex world of Tribal Housing and Tribal Economic Development is a challenge, but our guests today on the Hoporenkv Native American Podcast have a wealth of knowledge to share. In this episode, we sit down with two experts who have dedicated their careers to finding innovative solutions for Tribal Nations.
Joining us are Moriah McGill, Deputy Director of the Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority, and Joseph B. Diehl, JD, CPA, FMCHC, Managing Director of Diehl & Co. LLC. They are here to discuss their collaborative work and the key principles of their presentation on raising funds for housing programs.
We’ll explore what it truly means to "think outside the box" in the context of Tribal Economic Development and why relying on just one or two funding sources is a dangerous gamble. Moriah and Joseph will reveal underutilized funding opportunities and share strategies for tapping into private capital and attracting entrepreneurial-minded business operators.
Our conversation will also dive deep into the art of grant and proposal writing, focusing on their three essential concepts: "focus on your why," "seek and you shall find," and "build relationships." They'll provide practical tips on everything from crafting an effective "elevator speech" to the power of storytelling in grant proposals.
Finally, we'll discuss the philosophical and practical challenges of "mastering the art of housing" and leveraging social media for funding. Moriah and Joseph will leave us with their most important fundraising tips and key takeaways for anyone looking to secure a more prosperous future for their Tribal Nation.
