sustainABLEhouse utilizes design as a tool to address issues of equity by providing affordable single-family housing that is durable, efficient, contextually appropriate, and community/resident informed. Each sustainABLEhouse is the result of an inclusive design process that is guided by informed resident choice. The sustainABLEhouse initiative works at larger scales to enhance the vitality of neighborhoods by infilling vacant lots and rebuilding existing substandard housing. This is accomplished through creating and strengthening partnerships between home designers, builders, and community organizations engaged in community revitalization.
