AVAILABLE OPTIONS
Tiny homes, modular construction, and small-footprint communities built for real life.
Small home communities are one of the most practical, scalable tools we have for expanding affordable housing — when they're designed with care.
WHAT ARE SMALL HOMES?
Compact, efficient, fully-featured homes — usually 400 to 600 square feet.
Small homes pair right-sized floor plans with thoughtful detailing: high ceilings, generous windows, efficient kitchens, and storage where you need it. They are full, permanent homes — not shelters and not RVs.

BENEFITS
Why small home communities work.
Lower Housing Costs
Smaller footprints reduce land, construction, and operating costs — passed on to residents.
Easier Maintenance
Simpler systems and durable finishes lower the lifetime cost of ownership.
Faster Construction
Repeatable designs and modular-friendly methods cut months off delivery.
Community-Centered Design
Shared courtyards and walkable layouts encourage connection between neighbors.
Housing Accessibility
More homes per acre means more people housed in the neighborhoods that need it.
POTENTIAL USE CASES
One pattern, many populations served.
Small home communities can be configured to meet the specific needs of the people they serve — from essential workers to veterans to seniors.

Aligning private capital with public goals to unlock scale.
Local Government Collaboration
Working with cities on zoning, siting, and infrastructure.
Nonprofit Partnerships
Pairing housing with services that support long-term stability.
Scalable Neighborhood Models
Patterns that can be replicated across regions and contexts.
SMALL HOMES. STRONGER COMMUNITIES. BRIGHTER FUTURES.
