Building Communities

Housing Development

Choose Your Own Adventure

Guided by community-defined priorities, we take on housing projects that aren’t viable in the for-profit sector. We pursue projects that meet the needs of the community.

Internal Growth

We favor in-fill projects that replace blighted properties and add value to neighborhoods.

Green Thumbs Up

We employ green building practices to develop houses and units that are healthy, efficient, and low-cost for residents to heat and cool.

What Makes This Triplex So Green?

Residential + Commercial

Mixed use development in our downtown districts combine housing needs, downtown development, and often historic preservation.

Downtown Redevelopment Stories

Preserving Our Stories

With historic tax credits we can bring capital to projects that preserve and protect the rich history of our small towns.
