A Vision Through the Mist
Community-Driven Solutions
Finding Camelot is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a cooperative housing network that empowers individuals and families through affordable living, shared responsibilities, and personal growth.
Our mission is to foster emotional intelligence, heal generational trauma, and promote economic empowerment by providing sustainable solutions for the working classes.
By prioritizing people over profit, we aim to build a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
- We are a network of cooperative properties owned by the nonprofit, purchased and then renovated to meet the unique demands of cohabitation with tax-deductible donations.
- We are a model that shows people how to live comfortably in close quarters, starting with a single household and expanding from there.
- We are a system that reduces the cost of living through cooperation, enabling members to control how their time and labor is valued.
- We are a movement that empowers the working class by fostering collective bargaining on a massive scale.

Legal System Reform: A Crucial Step Toward Empowerment
At Finding Camelot, we recognize that economic stability and social healing are impossible without addressing the deep-rooted injustices in our legal system. The working class is disproportionately affected by:
- Predatory fines and fees that turn minor infractions into financial crises.
- Disproportionate incarceration that removes wage earners from their families and communities.
Our advocacy for legal system reform is central to our mission.
A just legal system should:
- Prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration, ensuring that mistakes do not lead to lifelong punishment.
- Uphold due process over expediency, preventing abuses of power that target the most vulnerable.
- Hold those in power accountable, so the system serves the people rather than exploiting them.
