The Story of Us All

A Network of Publicly Owned Housing 

    Publicly owned housing helps create a more balanced and stable housing market that can better serve all income levels and prevent the exacerbation of housing crises.

    1. Increasing Housing Supply: Publicly owned housing can directly increase the number of available housing units, helping to meet demand and stabilize prices. For instance, places like Austria and Singapore have successfully used public housing to provide affordable options for a wide range of income levels, reducing overall housing costs and creating desirable living conditions.
    2. Affordable Housing: Publicly owned housing helps in addressing affordability issues. By offering affordable rents, these housing projects ensure that a portion of the housing market remains accessible to lower-income residents, reducing the demand on the private rental market and preventing excessive rent increases.
    3. Economic Stability: By providing stable, affordable housing, publicly owned housing contributes to economic stability by reducing homelessness and housing insecurity. This stability can lead to broader economic benefits, such as improved health, better educational performance, and increased economic productivity.
    4. Counteracting Market Fluctuations: Publicly owned housing acts as a buffer against market fluctuations. During economic downturns, the availability of affordable public housing can prevent widespread displacement and homelessness, as these units are not subject to the same market pressures as private housing.
    5. Long-term Planning: The people can use publicly owned housing to implement long-term urban planning goals and ensure access to public amenities like schools and transportation. This strategic use of housing policy can lead to more equitable and sustainable development.


    Our Inspiration 

    My name is Cassandra Davis, and I am the founder of this transformative initiative. Finding Camelot was born out of my deep commitment to creating supportive, affordable housing communities for working families. Our mission is to build a network of publicly owned, communal living spaces where families can thrive together, sharing responsibilities and support. With Finding Camelot, we aim to provide high-quality housing that reduces the stresses of modern life and fosters a sense of community and belonging. I invite you to join us on this journey to make a real difference in people's lives.
