VILLAGE COHOUSING WORKS
Affordable homeownership
for those in need.
You Can Help Change Lives
We're placing 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 have close to 500 students living homeless in the 2024 - 2025 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.
