VILLAGE COHOUSING WORKS
Safety and Stability.
Harnessing the power of community to change lives
with practical, permanent, affordable housing.
You Can Help Change Lives
We're placing 10 homes in Takesa Village Homeowners Cooperative, a resident-owned community in Mead, WA.
Low income homebuyers have a rare opportunity to build equity in the context of a stable, caring community without the constant pressure of rent increases.
Village Cohousing Works provides affordable, permanent housing to low-income households in the North Spokane area. With help from donors like you, we buy brand-new manufactured homes and sell them at cost to those in need.
Why it Matters
-
Rent in north Spokane County has increased 70% to 300% since 2020.
-
Families are especially vulnerable to rent increases: Mead schools saw 456 students living homeless in the 2022 - 2023 school year.
-
Spokane County needs to build 71,000 new homes over the next two decades; 38,000 homes for people making less than half of the area median income.
-
Spokane is in the midst of a housing crisis, with no plan to solve it.
-
We are stepping into this gap, harnessing the power of community to change lives, one affordable house at a time.
