Caring Communities
Co-housing Community Model
3i HoME's Caring Communities is our mixed-income neighborhood model. We understand the need for accessible housing solutions for people with disabilities and mobility impairments at all income levels. These will be neighborhoods for individuals, families and caregivers, with green-engineered single family or duplex style homes featuring smart home technologies and constructed using principles of universal design. Another unique feature being considered is a set aside and/or subsidy for essential workers -- particularly those employed as CNA's, direct care workers and others essential to the healthcare sector in our host community. We are currently in the pre-development stage of our first 3i HoME mixed income neighborhood of approximately 30 homes to be located in western Maine. Additional updates will be provided in the coming months -- with a construction target date later in 2025.
Caring Community Solutions
01
Provides a solution to much-needed workforce housing
These mixed income neighborhood will consider the needs of long-term care providers by incorporating ADUs to house professional caregivers. Further, this model envisions promoting individual home ownership opportunities to those committed to a career in the essential field of personal care through affordable financing options.
02
Maintaining quality of life for residents
Each Caring Community will have approximately twenty individual cottage homes, each with an associated ADU. These individual, cottage style, small homes will utilize principles of universal design to enable residents to age in place independently, while also building a social community for residents to thrive.
