For Cities

One strategy. Critical-mass production to match your underbuilt housing demand.

If your community needs 500+ homes now—and a minimum 5,000 homes over the next ten years—we’ll help you move from low-production to high-production with a Scale-Built Housing operating system that delivers 500+ home annual batches sized to real demand.

See an example of Scale-Built Housing Scorecard and how it can impact your city in a similar way. :

Who this is for

  • Cities and counties with chronic underbuilding (urban cores and rural towns alike).

  • Municipal leaders ready to run one coordinated model instead of a thousand one-offs.

  • Communities prioritizing middle-market homeownership and climate-resilient standards.


What you get

  • City-level Commitment Order: Commit to a 5,000-home pipeline over 10 years (in 500+ home batches).

  • Coordinated Delivery: Standardized designs, advanced manufacturing, bulk supply, and on-site assembly—run by Together.Homes (for-profit cooperative).

  • Readiness Stack: Community, workforce, homebuyer, and civic/site readiness delivered by MovementKC (501c3) so production can start fast and stay on schedule.

  • Data & Reporting: Transparent scorecards—units, cost & schedule variance, ownership created, jobs, and energy performance.


How it works (simple)

  1. Commit: City signs a multi-year commitment order for 5,000 homes.

  2. Ready: MovementKC runs readiness lanes (workforce, homebuyer, civic/site).

  3. Build: Together.Homes works with your local operators to delivers 500+ home annual batches, exceeding energy codes and compressing timelines.

  4. Own: Middle-market families buy mortgage-ready, climate-resilient homes; jobs and local spend rise; costs fall in the next batch.

  5. Repeat & Scale: Scorecards inform the next batch—continuous improvement, faster throughput.


Why this model works

  • Municipal control: You set affordability tiers, locations, and timelines; we run the engine.

  • Production, not pilots: One operating system replaces scattered projects.

  • Middle-market focus: Predictable absorption and cash flows—no speculative luxury, no endless subsidy gaps.

  • Climate-resilient stock: Exceeds code, targets 1/5 energy use, lowers monthly costs for families.

  • Jobs & GDP: Two permanent jobs per home; local suppliers onboarded into a repeatable pipeline.


What we report to you

  • Units started/completed (by batch & neighborhood)

  • Cost & schedule variance vs. baseline

  • Ownership outcomes (middle-market buyers)

  • Workforce (local hires, apprenticeships, certified vendors)

  • Energy performance (utility cost, resilience indicators)

Fit checklist

  • You can designate sites (infill, transit corridors, or rural nodes).

  • You can align relevant departments for fast-track approvals.

  • You want one strategy that reaches 5,000 homes in a decade through 500+ home annual batches.
