Osborn Pointe Achievements Spark LIHTC Project Spotlight!

We’re thrilled to share that Osborn Pointe has achieved National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Gold certification and surpassed expectations by qualifying for Version 1.2 of ENERGY STAR’s Multifamily New Construction Program, well above Arizona’s baseline!

Osborn Pointe Certifications & Performance


This achievement could not have been possible without the dedication and support of our partners, funders, and community members. Native American Connections is incredibly grateful to be a trusted housing and healthcare provider in the Phoenix community. We look forward to a future where everyone has access to safe, dignified, and affordable housing.

Osborn Pointe is a 48-unit supportive housing community in midtown Phoenix for elders 55+ and veterans experiencing housing instability. Developed by Native American Connections, the project combines transit-accessible homes with on-site services that promote long-term stability, health, and independence.

Special thank you to Desert Skies Energy for highlighting this project at the 2025 Arizona Housing Forum.

A "chronically homeless" individual is defined to mean a homeless individual with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for fewer than ninety (90) days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven or in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility. In order to meet the ‘‘chronically homeless’’ definition, the individual also must have been living as described above continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months. Each period separating the occasions must include at least seven (7) nights of living in a situation other than a place not meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter or in a safe haven.
