After surveying our community, we have discovered that there are many very low income people living in homes in severe states of disrepair.  In response to this need, we are about to begin construction on our first “cottage homes.”  These homes are designed to help the very low income achieve affordable housing.  Most of the applicants are receiving social security or disability income and cannot afford the typical three-bedroom home.  The new cottage style home will be built as energy efficient as possible and materials will be used that will require very little maintenance.  These homes will greatly improve the quality of life for these individuals.
