Karwick Village stands on the brink of becoming a reality, poised to transform the landscape of affordable housing in La Porte County. Our vision is clear, our plans are set, and our funding is secured to build. We’re ready to break ground on this innovative project that promises to address one of our community’s most pressing needs. However, there’s one crucial element missing to turn this dream into reality: a local contractor who shares our passion for creating positive change.
Our Vision
Karwick Village is not just another housing development; it’s a beacon of hope and a model for the future. We’ve designed this project to be a cooperative living environment that goes beyond merely providing shelter. Our goal is to create a supportive community that offers:
1. Housing Security: By providing affordable housing options, we aim to significantly reduce the risk of homelessness and housing insecurity in our area. Our affordable rental housing allows residents to gain a firm financial footing and prioritize other needed living expenses.
2. Cooperative Living: Residents will be part of a community that values mutual support and shared responsibilities, fostering a sense of belonging and collective well-being. Through our neighborhood board, each resident has a stake in the community.
3. Support Network: Those most at risk of housing insecurity are often those without a support network. Through the cooperative community mission, residents will have the opportunity to build a strong and dependable support network while living in the community.
Where We Are Now
Thanks to the tremendous support from our community and stakeholders, we’ve made significant progress:
– Our plans have been finalized and approved.
– Funding to build Karwick Village has been secured to build phase one.
– We’ve garnered strong community support and engagement.
The Final Piece: A Local Contractor
With all these elements in place, we’re now at a critical juncture. To make Karwick Village a reality, we need a local contractor who can bring our plans to life. This is more than just a construction project; it’s an opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking initiative that will set a new standard for affordable housing in La Porte County.
We’re putting out a call to all local contractors who are interested in making a lasting impact on our community. By partnering with us, you’ll be:
– Creating the first cooperative community of affordable housing in La Porte County
– Directly contributing to solving the housing insecurity crisis in our area
– Building not just homes but a supportive and thriving community
