It’s no secret that a shortage of safe and affordable housing is choking BIPOC communities nationwide. But most government solutions do little more than temporarily set aside a small percentage of new uses at a lower than market rate, a strategy that continues to put only a drop into the bucket of most communities’ unmet housing needs.
Good Hood is particularly focused on supporting new models of housing that are inherently affordable – housing that is compact, energy efficient, flexible and naturally much less expensive to build than conventional stick-built houses.
To achieve these benefits, Good Hood partners with ModFab Construction. This Black-owned business is meeting affordable housing and construction needs through offsite construction of high-quality modular housing designs constructed from shipping containers – a strategy that creates almost completely disaster-proof structures with high energy efficiency, adaptability and flexibility. And results in multi-bedroom homes at nearly half the cost of conventional construction. Good Hood supports this new housing strategy though strategic planning, grant development and support for new home buyers. Learn more at Mod-fab.com
