Dear Valued Contractors of Northwest Indiana,

We stand at a crucial juncture in our journey to bring cooperative community and affordable housing to La Porte County. We know that finding the right contractor for this project is the key to unlocking a brighter future for many of our neighbors.

Homeward Bound: Where We Are

After years of careful planning, community engagement, and tireless fundraising efforts, Homeward Bound Villages has achieved several significant milestones for our first project: Karwick Village:

1. We’ve secured the necessary funding to begin construction on Karwick Village, our innovative, affordable housing project.

2. Our development and architecture plans have been finalized and approved. They incorporate a cooperative living model that will foster a supportive community environment.

3. We’ve garnered strong support from local residents and stakeholders who recognize the urgent need for affordable housing in La Porte County.

In short, we’re ready to break ground. The foundation for change has been laid, both figuratively and soon, literally. But we can’t do it alone.

What We Need

This is where you come in. As skilled local contractors, you possess the expertise and resources necessary to transform our vision into reality. We’re seeking a partner who can help us construct Karwick Village, a project that goes beyond traditional affordable housing.  We need:

– Contractors able to take on full phases of work for site development or building construction.

– An hour to meet and tell you about our project and share specifications. Reach out to us directly at info@homewardboundvillages.org.

What’s Next for Karwick Villages – and potentially for you

The next step in our journey is to select a contractor who shares our commitment to community development and understands the unique challenges and rewards of building affordable housing. We’re looking for a partner who can:

1. Work within our budget constraints while maintaining high standards of quality and safety

2. Collaborate with our team to implement innovative design features that support our cooperative living model

3. Potentially become a long-term partner as we look to expand our affordable housing initiatives in the future

By joining us in this endeavor, you’ll be doing more than just securing a contract. You’ll be:

– Creating the first cooperative community of affordable housing in La Porte County

– Directly impacting the lives of countless individuals and families struggling with housing insecurity
