At HR Wise LLC, we take immense pride in our commitment to supporting Native American communities with specialized services tailored to their unique needs. One of the key offerings that sets us apart from the competition is our extensive experience and expertise in Native American Programs Administration.

Heading our Native American services division is Andy Pasqual (Tohono O’odham / Choctaw), a tenured former administrator for the Tohono O’odham Nation’s tribally designated housing entity. With roots in the Tohono O’odham and Choctaw tribes, Andy Pasqual brings over 15 years of invaluable program management experience to our clientele. His role as Program Manager at HR Wise LLC involves overseeing Compliance Programs and Consulting with HUD-funded programs and projects, making him exceptionally equipped to navigate the intricacies of tribal governmental bodies, particularly in the realm of housing authorities.

Andy’s background includes serving as an administrator for the Tohono O’odham Nation’s tribally designated housing entity, providing him with firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by Native American communities in managing housing programs. This deep understanding allows him to offer knowledgeable and unique guidance to tribal governments seeking to optimize their housing initiatives.

Our Native American services extend beyond housing to encompass a wide range of consulting solutions aimed at enhancing the overall well-being and prosperity of indigenous communities. Andy’s expertise extends to advising municipalities like the City of Mesa on HUD Community Development Block Grant programs, demonstrating his versatility in navigating governmental regulations and processes.

Furthermore, our consulting services extend to businesses in the Phoenix Metro area, where Andy advises on best business practices related to procurement and contracting. This dual expertise uniquely positions us to bridge the gap between tribal entities and external stakeholders, fostering collaboration and mutual growth.

At HR Wise, we understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect when working with Native American communities. Our approach is rooted in trusting relationships, honoring tribal sovereignty, and empowering indigenous voices in decision-making processes.
