Our Vision
To ensure that everyone that is homeless has somewhere to call home.
Mission
Create micro-communities of small homes, with flexible support that ensures residents thrive, not just survive.
What we do
Initially, we are focused on the use of temporary land, not yet in use for housing, to develop small schemes using off-site built relocatable modular homes. Homes are small, fully equipped and self-contained, easy to run, hi-tech and environmentally friendly with a minimum 60-year lifetime.
Once established, we expect to develop schemes on permanent land, either owned / long-term leased, or hybrid schemes alongside traditional social housing in partnership with a developer.
Our first site will feature four modular homes, located on a site owned by Cambridge City Council and built by New Meaning Foundation. We are exploring further sites with other major landowners. Funding comes from donations, grants and social investors who can receive a modest return on their investment.
