Listen Now: Paul Linet Shares the Vision Behind 3i Housing of Maine on the Maine Ideas Podcast

What does it take to build communities where everyone can live independently, safely, and with dignity?

In a recent episode of the Maine Ideas podcast from the Alfond Center for Workforce Development, our founder and President, Paul Linet, shares his personal story that inspired the creation of 3i HoME and the vision driving our work to expand accessible, affordable housing throughout Maine.

Drawing from more than 25 years as a family caregiver, Paul discusses why housing is much more than a place to live. Accessible housing has a profound impact on health, independence, employment, caregiving, and overall quality of life.

During the conversation, listeners will learn about:

• The personal experiences that led to the founding of 3i Housing of Maine

• Why universal design creates homes that work for people of all ages and abilities

• The growing need for accessible housing in Maine

• How innovative housing solutions can reduce healthcare costs, support caregivers, and strengthen communities

• Our current and future housing projects designed to promote independent living

As Maine's population continues to age and the demand for accessible housing grows, the need for innovative, community-based solutions has never been greater. This conversation highlights how thoughtful housing design can create opportunities for people with disabilities, older adults, and families while benefiting entire communities.

We invite you to take a few minutes to listen to this inspiring discussion and learn more about how 3i Housing of Maine is helping create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
