Healthy Affordable Housing
Our 501c3’s Farm to Frame Initiative is an affordable housing development program designed to not only provide resources to homeless populations across Michigan but also cultivate community that is a resource itself. 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.
Pillars of Community Informed Development
-
Community Engagement
Our methodology for affordable housing development starts in the communities we aim to serve. Our developments start with community engagement with the intention to empower people in low income rural, urban, and tribal communities to envision what a healthy sustainable community looks like. We engage through our community needs assessment events.
-
Workforce Development
The beauty of building sustainable, healthy hemp homes is that we are not only developing housing but also a well rounded robust local economy that starts on the farm. We develop curriculum for farming, manufacturing, and construction in order to create truly sustainable communities, environmentally and economically.
-
Healthy Affordable Buildings
Our construction methods develop dignified affordable housing that is healthier for the residents and for the planet. Utilizing different methods of construction we are able to find natural, healthy home solutions for all communities across the state of Michigan.
