Building structures for rental income- [ earthships, adobe homes, treehouses, hobbit homes— self-sustaining, creative structures to teach the next generation how to live in harmony with the Earth, in reciprocity.
We will give a percentage of the rental profit to the residents who help us to build/create as a way to teach them about sovereignty and fair exchange. It turns a building project into life-skills on how to sustain oneself while caring for the community. As well as provide them income as long as the unit collects rent. By linking the work of the hands to a long-term flow of income, we are helping these young people break free from old ways of thinking about labor, by teaching them that when they pour their heart into the land, the land and the community will continue to support them in return.
