Zero Waste
Housing STABILITY
Housing STABILITY
Compost - ReUse - Recycle
We believe that actions to ease the impact we have on our planet should be easy to use and to access for all residents. This is an important step to make becoming zero waste achievable for all.
We strive toward zero-waste food cooperatives in each community, addressing both local food deserts and the excessive waste produced by most grocery chains.
We also provide a way to give items a second life through our Lending Library for all items including clothes, books, toys, and larger single use items.

Housing STABILITY
Our communities are open to everyone. We believe healthy communities are diverse in every way.
We reserve a percentage of each project for workforce housing, and 40% for low-income, and extremely low-income individuals and families.
There are opportunities for ownership and wealth building as well as safety nets for housing security such as rental reserves to help enhance the lives of our residents.
Dependent Care
Housing STABILITY
Dependent Care
Onsite dependent care and after school education programs are important to community stability.
We make these available to community members on a sliding scale based on income.
Elder care and child care have a number of natural complimentary components and will share some spaces to enhance the community across all ages and stages.
Food Security

Food security is an important part of community and social justice. It also has a tremendous impact on our environment and climate.
