Culturally Significant Living on the Makah Reservation

Sail River Heights Longhouse Apartments | Neah Bay, WA

Sail River Longhouse Apartments is the first permanent supportive housing project for homeless Native Americans on tribal lands in the Northwest. By providing 21 units of supportive housing tailored to their needs, the Makah Tribe hopes to house those suffering with chemical dependency and family violence who formerly had to leave the reservation to find shelter.

Community Engagement

A community engagement process conducted by the tribal members identified important elements for the new subdivision including a community club, garden, playground, and picnic spaces in addition to affordable housing.
