Local organizations are creating momentum in identifying and pursuing holistic housing solutions. Homeworthy, Midcoast Housing Trust, and Habitat for Humanity are accomplishing meaningful gains toward increasing the supply of quality homes. The private sector is also starting to contribute and to help lessen the housing crisis in the Midcoast. Now is the time for very small businesses to step up. I am interested in completing a pilot project that will develop a small, five home tiny community. These houses will be 350 to 400 square feet. Tiny House Communities and Accessory Dwelling Homes have the potential to increase our communities’ housing supply while still being a solid investment for little businesses like mine.

Are you a trade professional or a person wanting to become a trade apprentice? Please give me a call or email if you have an interest in working with us on this project.
