Join a New Kind of Community
Do you have skills, or want to learn new ones?
Do you want to live better, feel happier, and help make the world a better place?
We’re building an intentional community for people who are ready for change, people tired of the way things are, and eager to live with purpose, independence, and integrity.
Our mission:
Build low-cost, off-grid housing
Create jobs for the community
Support self-improvement and shared success
Here’s how it works:
You pay rent into a tenant-run nonprofit, not a landlord’s pocket. Rent is $600/month (first and last month due upfront, $1200 total) and never goes up. Together, tenants decide how funds are spent, it’s like paying rent to yourself. Tenants also decide how much future rent will be, so rent can go down. Can't afford $1200?... we might find a work around for you, but this is first come first serve opportunity, and we are looking for capable individuals.
What you get to start off with:
- Your own 12x16 private room
- 12-volt fridge, hotplate, and compost toilet
- 200 watts of solar with battery and inverter
- Land for a garden, workshop or more housing
You’ll join a growing project on 4+ acres with trucks, tools, containers, sheds, and an old farmhouse, all owned by the nonprofit and managed transparently by tenants online through an app.
If you want to get started early, you can camp or live in your vehicle and help build your unit. Your work is recorded and paid. In other words you can work to pay future rent.
Consider the profound good we can achieve. With the right team, we can replace the cycle of paying rent with a powerful new model: a community built and governed by its own residents. This is more than housing; it's a self-supporting ecosystem where we invest in ourselves and each other.
This is about more than housing, it’s about taking control of your life, learning, sharing, and building something real together. When we pool our resources and live simply, we lift each other up.
Off-grid housing and simple living is the future. Together, we can grow this model across the country, creating a network of beautiful, sustainable, tenant-owned communities.
