The National Tribal Development Association (NTDA) provides credit outreach services, capital attraction and economic development support for the residents of 258 different Tribal entities across the United States. NTDA received an allocation of NMTCs for use in the recovery and redevelopment of the Hurricane Katrina Gulf Opportunity (GO) Zone. This GO Zone allocation will enable NTDA to attract needed capital for business development in Louisiana"s Houma Nation and Mississippi"s Choctaw communities. The NMTC proceeds will be used to provide equity investments and flexible debt products that will create tribal ownership opportunities, jobs and wealth creation for low-income Native American communities.
