Okiciyapi Tipi Habitat for Humanity is affiliated with Habitat for Humanity International. Habitat has built more than 175,000 houses around the world, providing more than 750,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. HFHI was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller.
Okiciyapi Tipi Habitat for Humanity began in 1994 when Jimmy Carter and 1200 volunteers came to Eagle Butte to build thirty homes. We now have fifty-two homes across the reservation and plan to build an additional three homes this summer.
But we can’t do it without your help! Your support, time, materials, talents and resources really do make a difference! We are always looking for volunteers to aid in our construction projects. Your financial contributions and donations of materials or tools are also much appreciated.
If you live on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation and would like to apply for a Habitat home, please call our office at 605-964-8532 to receive an application. You can also find our application here.
