Why We Are Here

We build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Because low-income families across the world are underserved by formal housing markets, they tend to build in stops and starts, often with limited access to sound construction advice and quality, eco-friendly materials. These incremental builders form a large but invisible segment of the housing market.
