Housing with purpose.
Redefining Housing
Why Affordable Is Not Enough
The traditional definition of “affordable housing” needs to be challenged and expanded. Instead of charging less for housing, we believe it’s time to start providing more.
More, Not Less
A home should come with built-in resources that help the individual develop personally and professionally to help them reach their full potential.
A Systematic Solution for Social Impact
When housing providers help their community become the best version of themselves, there is a measurable impact on individuals, families, the community at large, and also yes - the bottom line.

Our Ethos
You’re the best version of yourself when you live passionately.
You live passionately when you have a purpose.
You can fulfill your purpose more easily when you have a like-minded community of people supporting you.
It’s with this ethos that we find our focus.
Co-Living with Purpose
Co-living is a type of intentional community that provides shared housing for people with similar values, interests, or intentions.
Our focus is supporting co-living communities personally and professionally with intention-specific tools, resources, networks, and connections to help them succeed as part of their housing arrangement. Intentions span all interests - music, film, fitness, tech, etc.
A more profitable solution
For the Housemate
Similar to how the smartphones redefined the value proposition of traditional cell phones, co-living with purpose redefines the value proposition of their rent for community members, aka housemates. It becomes an investment in themselves to help them grow and achieve their purpose.
For the Investor
Maximized Income: Co-living is a rent-by-the-room model, which is a proven approach to keep housing costs reasonable for the individual while simultaneously increasing the margin of the property as a whole.
Minimized Loss: Vacancies are less frequent because of the ties to their community. When they do happen, it’s only a fractional vacancy thanks to the multiple units in the property.
