Developing Healthy Communities
Healing Our Communities With Hemp
Hemp For Humanity cultivates healthy, resilient communities by advancing affordable housing solutions in Michigan using sustainable, bio-based materials. Through our initiatives, we’re developing the supply chain, training the workforce, and building housing that heals people and the planet.
Our Work
Advancing affordable housing solutions in Michigan that are healthy & sustainable
AFFORDABLE
GREEN HOMES
Current building methods are a leading cause of municipal waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and use materials that pose health risks to humans. We use industrial hemp to develop affordable, sustainable housing that is good for you, and good for the earth.
COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT
Underserved communities are often forced to rely on toxic building materials. We’re developing curriculum that empowers communities to harness agriculture and natural building materials to create affordable homes that are economically and environmentally sustainable.
SUPPLY CHAIN DEVELOPMENT
Lack of infrastructure and skilled labor has limited innovation in natural building and manufacturing. We’re strengthening Michigan’s bio-based building economy through research and product development to lay the foundation for feasible and sustainable hemp cultivation.
Farm To Frame
Our Farm to Frame Initiative is an affordable housing development program designed to not only provide housing to disadvantaged populations across Michigan, but to empower community-led development. Our goal is to give people the tools, knowledge and purpose that comes with the process of growing and building sustainable community. We emphasize self sufficiency through agriculture and natural building, while healing our land and our atmosphere.

Supporting Local Farms
Hemp 4 Humanity started on the farm, growing Michigan hemp for building materials. Our materials are locally sourced and we provide support and education for the ongoing development of industrial hemp farming. We also participate in the Midwest Hemp Research Collaborative in order to develop the hemp supply chain from the ground up locally throughout farms in Michigan.
