For Neighbors & Housing Support Orgs

Rebuild YOUR Housing Economy—Where You Live.

OneMillion.Homes is the execution log for a Scale-Built Housing operating system that delivers 500+ home annual batches in underbuilt urban and rural communities. This page is for neighbors, tenant/owner groups, faith & civic orgs, housing counselors, and local nonprofits who want to turn belief into build—and help families move from cost-burden to mortgage-ready ownership.


Who this is for

  • Neighbors & resident leaders organizing for attainable, owner-occupied housing.

  • Housing support organizations (counselors, CDFIs, CDCs, legal aid, HUD-approved agencies).

  • Faith, civic, and neighborhood associations ready to align volunteers, land, or resources.

  • Community coalitions that want one coordinated path to 500+ homes a year and 5,000 homes in ten years.


What you get

  • Clear On-Ramps: How to plug your neighborhood into a city’s 5,000-home pipeline.

  • Homebuyer Readiness: Credit coaching, mortgage packaging, and down-payment/closing-cost bridges (via MovementKC 501c3 and partners).

  • Workforce & Local Vendor Ladders: Training and onboarding into standardized 500+ home batches.

  • Neighborhood Playbooks: Transit-corridor infill, anti-displacement guardrails, and community benefits agreements.

  • Transparent Scorecards: Owners created, jobs, cost/schedule compression, energy performance (see Kansas City example).


How it works (simple)

  1. Organize — Rally your block/association/org; identify sites, partners, and readiness gaps.

  2. Align — We connect you to the city’s purchase order and the readiness stack (MovementKC) that turns intent into throughput.

  3. Build — Together.Homes (co-op) executes 500+ home annual batches, exceeding code and compressing timelines.

  4. Own — Middle-market families move into mortgage-ready, climate-resilient homes; jobs and local spend rise.

  5. Repeat — Scorecards inform the next batch; costs fall and capacity compounds.


How neighbors & support orgs can plug in

  • Homebuyer Cohorts: Assemble interested families; coordinate coaching and lender days.

  • Land/Opportunity Lists: Identify viable parcels, faith properties, or underused sites along transit.

  • Community Agreements: Co-create anti-displacement and affordability frameworks with the city.

  • Workforce Pipelines: Nominate residents for paid apprenticeships and vendor onboarding.

  • Neighborhood Activation: Volunteer days, blight removal, and public-realm improvements that boost absorption and retention.


What we report to your community

  • Units started/completed (by batch and neighborhood)

  • Ownership outcomes (middle-market buyers; cost-burden relieved)

  • Workforce placements and local vendors onboarded

  • Energy and monthly cost savings (1/5 energy-use target)

  • Timeline compression (time-to-permit, time-to-start)
