Our Housing Crisis
Our country needs a housing industry that can meet demand while also being equitable and putting people first.
We've seen our community being torn apart. Just in Santa Cruz, we have:
Half the families with young children than we had 20 years ago.
Less economic and racial diversity.
More homelessness—even among those who have and keep employment.
Teachers commuting for hours because they can’t afford to live in their school districts.
Every one of these problems trace back in part to the same thing—Our Housing Crisis. Working on any of these problems directly without also solving the housing crisis is not enough.

Our Projects
We’ve succeeded in getting our first projects fully approved and funded—19 units of supportive housing or low-income affordable housing!
We are now raising capital to accelerate our work. We're ready to create these next 6 projects and start engaging with dozens of other non-profit landowners who have already come to us. These projects are under design and permitting and include over 300 units.
