The Meskwaki Housing Department is seeking enrolled tribal members to apply for service on the Meskwaki Housing Committee.

This standing committee, appointed by Tribal Council, plays an important role in reviewing housing and land assignment matters and making formal recommendations to Council to ensure fair, consistent, and transparent housing decisions.

Interested tribal members must submit a Letter of Interest including their name, contact information, and a brief explanation of why they wish to serve. Letters may be submitted to the Meskwaki Housing Program or the Executive Office.

🔨 CELEBRATING MESKWAKI TRADESPEOPLE: BUILDING SKILLS, HOMES & COMMUNITY - Meskwaki Housing Department 🔧

On September 19th – National Tradesperson Day, we honor the hardworking teams of the Meskwaki Housing Department, Public Works, Facilities Management, MBCH, and the Meskwaki Nation Apprenticeship Program.

These tradespeople do far more than carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, water treatment, and roadway maintenance. They build opportunity, stability, and support—ensuring homes, workplaces, and community spaces are safe, reliable, and welcoming.

🏡 MESKWAKI HOUSING DEPARTMENT
With 31 employees, Housing maintains 357 homes, senior duplexes, and apartments on the Settlement, plus 10 Eagle Ridge townhomes in Marshalltown. From quick service calls to full-scale home rehabilitations, their work ensures residents have comfortable, secure places to live.

💬 Housing Director Arlan Whitebreast shared:

“Our tradespeople are more than builders and technicians, they are teachers, role models, and community leaders. Each project represents more than concrete, lumber, or wiring—it represents security for our families, pride for our community, and sustainability for future generations.”

🙏 On behalf of the Meskwaki Housing Program, he extended gratitude to all carpenters, maintenance staff, apprentices, and skilled professionals whose dedication keeps our homes safe, our community strong, and our traditions alive.

This National Tradesperson Day, we honor not only the tools of the trade, but the heart, knowledge, and problem-solving behind them.

Thank you, Meskwaki tradespeople, for building a stronger community—one project, one road, and one home at a time. ❤️🏡🛠️

Do you notice a lot of humidity in your home? Do you notice a lot of condensation or mildew on your windows? Do you have signs of mold anywhere in your home?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please call the Housing Office to schedule a house inspection. Winter is the perfect time for these things to happen inside the home. This can also negatively affect your indoor air quality.

Please give us a call at (641) 484-4972 so that we can help you solve the problem, thank you.
