Why Housing?
Why Innovation?
Why Partnerships?
Research shows that increasing access to affordable housing is the most cost-effective strategy for reducing childhood poverty and increasing economic mobility. Persons living in safe homes they can actually afford, are more engaged in the community, in education and in investing locally. Whether Seniors in school or Senior citizens, “Where am I going to live?’ is key!
Finding the Problems Worth Solving, then finding creative solutions, opens the door to local solutions that both stabilize and energize everything from recreation, health, public utilities, local investment, energy solutions… in short, innovative approaches to housing can help bring a town’s Comprehensive Plan to life!
No single organization or municipality has the vision, financial resources and executional skills to carry out housing projects on their own; it is critical we learn from other’s mistakes and apply that learning to a community-specific set of solutions – especially in rural settings where urban solutions just don’t fit!
