I call THOWs in Villages “Inherently Affordable” housing, since (based on rough calculations), it should be possible to buy a lower end THOW (or build your own), financing the purchase/materials over 10-15 years, and pay any community fees/assesments while working a single, 40hr/week job at the 2021 minimum wage ($15/hr) while staying within the old “ideal” of not paying more than 30% of your gross pay for housing. All without the need for ANY subsidy from the government or non governmental philanthropy.
At my law school, I founded a Resilient Communities Law Society, which focused on exploring SELC’s work. I graduated in May and will be a B Corps Fellow next year. But I hope the Resilient Communities Law Society gains momentum at my alma mater and I look forward to developing a career inspired by SELC’s principles and precedent.
Onward and upward my friend :)
Love,
Tia
