HUD 184 Mortgage Program Background and Purpose
The Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program, established under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, was designed to tackle a persistent issue: the lack of mortgage lending in Indian Country. Historically, Native American homeownership has been an underserved market, mainly due to the unique nature of trust land. Land held in trust for tribes cannot be mortgaged, and land held in trust for individuals requires approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) before a lien can be placed on the property. These restrictions have made it challenging for lenders to issue home loans to Native Americans, as the inability to place liens or foreclose on trust land has traditionally discouraged lending.
The Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program addresses these challenges head-on by working closely with an expanding network of private sector lenders and tribal partners. By offering a federal guarantee on loans made to Native American borrowers, the program reduces the risk for lenders, making it easier for them to extend credit to individuals and tribal housing agencies. This approach is opening up new pathways to homeownership for Native Americans nationwide.
What began as a solution to a specific problem has become a powerful tool for economic growth and housing stability in Indian Country. The Section 184 program provides Native American and Alaska Native families, Alaska Villages, Tribes, and Tribally Designated Housing Entities access to home mortgages that were once out of reach. By expanding eligible areas, as determined by participating tribes, the program is increasing access to capital and empowering Native communities to take control of their housing futures.
Through the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program, Native Americans now have a better opportunity to achieve homeownership and build wealth. At the same time, tribal housing agencies can secure private funding for broader community development projects. This program represents a vital step toward overcoming the barriers that have historically limited access to mortgage financing in Indian Country and is helping to ensure that Native American families have the same opportunities for homeownership as anyone else in the nation.

Barriers to Homeownership in Indian Country
Much of the land in Indian country is held in trust by the U.S. government for the benefit of a particular tribe or individual Native Americans. Land held in trust for a tribe cannot be mortgaged, and land held in trust for an individual must receive federal approval before a lien is placed on the property. As a result, tribes, IHAs/TDHEs, and individual Native American families have historically had limited access to private mortgage capital.
The Section 184 Loan Guarantee Program
In 1992 Congress created a federal program specifically designed to address the lack of mortgage capital in Indian country. Under the provisions of Section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and as amended under the provisions of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was authorized to guarantee loans made by private lenders to Native Americans, IHAs/TDHEs and tribes. The loan guarantee program is intended to increase the availability of mortgage lending on Indian reservations or designated Indian operating areas.
