The large size of the envisioned property (100 acres) would lend itself to planning for future growth. Imagine a nearby Phase 2 site for a second similar, multi-generation, ‘Kin Commons’-like community.

Then imagine that both of these communities ‘birth’ a Phase 3 congregate housing facility solely for our young adults (18-26) aging out of foster care. A place to learn how to be independent and experience living on one’s own, while visits with family and neighborhood friends are just a walk through the woods.   

Finally, imagine a 4th Phase, mixed-rate, rental, housing complex built by and wholly owned by the Kin Commons nonprofit. Built on the same property, it might have 20-30 detached, small homes of 500-1000 sq. ft. From these leases a thin slice of the total monthly rental fee (the rest going to loan mortgage payments) could be directed to the nonprofit. This monthly income could significantly add to other Kin Commons sustaining revenue streams.

Finally, some of these neighbors, choosing to live in this particular complex, could volunteer with us, giving their time and talents to our residents.
