The Pilot Program
Why the Model Works
Tiny Home Village
Community land trust - land held permanently, never sold. 15-30 tiny homes offered as affordable rental OR affordable ownership. Off grid solar, composting systems, net-zero design (where applicable)
Homestead Farmlet
Working market garden, food preservation, composting, and so much more. Surplus food sales generate social enterprise income for programming.
Construction & Home Skills
Woodworking, basic carpentry, tiny home construction, and everyday home maintenance - fixing leaky taps, patching walls, weatherproofing. Trades credentials and lifelong self-sufficiency.
Home-Based Business Skills
Practical business skills - selling homestead products, home repair services, online selling, basic bookkeeping, and a graduation business pitch., income from home using what you already know.
Land held in perpetuity means housing stays affordable for every future generation - not just the first residents
Youth participate in building and maintaining the community, earning reduced rent credits and employment references
Homestead surplus sales and workshop fees create social enterprise revenue that reduces grant dependency over time
Net-zero design targets unlock additional clean energy grants on top of housing funding
