Tackling the chronic shortage of homes across our seven-state service area.
Housing
Hardworking families, small business owners, and family farmers are the backbone of our rural communities.
They deserve the opportunity and tools to build a good life.

Rural residents are being held back by a shortage of decent, affordable homes near their work and schools like their urban counterparts. Many are forced to spend more than half their income on housing, leaving less for essentials like food, childcare, and transportation.
In the places we serve, over 20% of residents have been living in poverty for more than 30 years. Aging infrastructure and decades of disinvestment make attracting homebuilders to repair and build quality homes even harder. Removing these barriers is crucial to providing long-term pathways to opportunity and mobility.
Why volumetric modular housing?
- Cut construction time by 50%, costs by 20% and ease the burdens on local municipalities
- Classify as real property, qualify for traditional mortgages, appreciate over time
- Contribute to individual and community wealth-building
- Increased production and cost-saving efficiencies
- Innovative solution that is suited for both rural and urban environments
