About Us

About Common Roots

Common Roots’ mission is to develop and steward sustainable, permanently affordable homes that build wealth and security for poor and working people. We believe that all residents, regardless of income or identity, should be able to benefit from stable homes that they love and are invested in.

Common Roots is a membership, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are also a community land trust, which means we will never sell our land and promise to use it for affordable housing purposes in perpetuity.
