Acquiring property is a pivotal strategy in transforming our vision into reality and providing our members with the environment they need to heal and achieve self-sufficiency.

Publicly owned housing has been recognized for its potential to stabilize and sustain the housing market.

Here are three sources that discuss this concept:

1. A New Vision for Social Housing in America by the Center for American Progress emphasizes that a bold federal program of social housing construction is the most effective way to address America’s severe housing affordability crisis.  
2. Addressing the Affordable Housing Crisis Requires Expanding Rental Assistance and Developing New Units by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities discusses the need for a comprehensive housing strategy, including developing new units and preserving existing affordable housing, to close the housing affordability gap.  
3. The Market Alone Can’t Fix the U.S. Housing Crisis from Harvard Business Review argues that public governance and direct investments are necessary to address housing issues effectively, as market solutions alone are insufficient.  

Implementing and maintaining publicly owned housing presents challenges, particularly in funding and management. Our approach addresses these by ensuring that

properties within our network are owned by the nonprofit but operated by the public.

Membership dues are managed transparently through dedicated accounts for each property, with all members having access to the account ledger. This structure promotes trust and community involvement.

Funding for property acquisition and renovation comes exclusively from tax-deductible donations made directly to the nonprofit.

This approach serves multiple purposes:

1. Financial Redistribution: It channels resources from wealthier individuals back to the broader community, promoting economic balance.
2. Sustainable Support: By investing in long-term affordable housing rather than temporary aid, it provides enduring assistance to those in need.
3. Tax Incentives: The tax-deductible status offers donors a means to reduce taxable income, which could be particularly beneficial if higher taxes are imposed on the wealthy.
   

This model not only stabilizes the housing market but also fosters a supportive community where members can heal and work towards self-sufficiency.
