What is a Tribally Approved Home?​
​
A Tribally Approved Home (TAH) is a safe, supportive, and culturally connected environment for Tribal children in need of care. When children cannot remain in their parent’s home, ICWA prioritizes placement with relatives, extended family, or Tribal members to ensure children remain within their community and connected to their traditions.
Why become a Tribally Approved Home?​
​​
-
Provide a loving, stable home for Coyote Valley children
-
Keep children connected to their family, culture, and community
-
Strengthen the Tribe’s ability to care for our own children
-
Support the future of the next generation
​
The Approval Process

We will walk you through each step of the process to make sure you feel supported and prepared. Becoming a TAH generally includes:
-
Application & Orientation – Learn about the program, requirements, and expectations.
-
Background Checks – Ensuring the safety and well-being of our children.
-
Home Study – A supportive review of your home environment to ensure it meets safety standards.
-
Training – Guidance on caring for children, trauma-informed support, and cultural connection.
-
Approval & Ongoing Support – Once approved, families receive continued resources, training, and support from the Tribe.
