Renovating viable older homes makes accessible purchase prices. These older homes can have existing garages making the creation of income generating ADUs on the properties feasible.

In-reach purchase prices were made possible by the 3-tier subsidy system built on relationship.

Donated
Labor

Most Contractors are paid at Fair Market rates. Contractors are chosen from as many local leader led companies as possible. Through existing relationships, many minority businesses are a part of the team. 

Labor donation comes through friends, family, church family, and willing local business providers. Identifying areas with smaller, defined scopes helps honor Contractors while creating big savings for the homeowner.

Benevolent Investors

The key to this whole puzzle has been the willingness of some to take modest, fixed rate returns on funds. These resources could otherwise be deployed for higher yields.

 

However, the return on community transformation is driving some to recognize the yield

How ADUs 
Bridge the Gap

Not familiar with this acronym? We weren't either. 

An ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Essentially, it is a secondary residence on a property that is accessory to (smaller than) the primary residence. It cannot be sold separately from the primary house. This creates unique income sources for new Homeowners and limited impact density. 

Finanicial 
Stability

The creation of a secondary dwellings makes a "little landlord" out of new homeowners. This offsets mortgage or future renovation costs. 

It also qualifies some homeowners for home loans they could not otherwise access (75% of the rental income can be counted towards Bank income qualifications). 

Equity Creation

Building through the economy of scale allows additional unit(s) to be added at a significantly decreased cost.

The addition of an income generating, secondary dwelling on-property creates massive infusions into home equity from day one of ownership. This is a key way to overcome generational and systematic struggles in wealth creation.

Local Leader Experts

Diversity begets diversity. 
The best way to create housing for our City's diversity is to empower diverse landlords.

The most compassionate landlords apt to help is those who have been there, lived that. They understand and help others needing access to affordable housing much more readily.
