Program Profile

White Earth Investment Initiative

The clientele at White Earth Investment Initiatives VITA site is unlike just about any other – the site is on an Indian Reservation. Despite its rural location in a town of 1,000, White Earth offers a wide array of services, including homebuyer education, housing counseling, savings and trust matching programs and free tax preparation.

We asked Sarah Castro, Service Development Coordinator at White Earth, about the services they provide primarily to members of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe members.
