Tenant Purchase Training
& Technical Assistance
We develop limited equity cooperatives (LECs) to preserve long-term, deeply affordable, member-controlled housing and prevent displacement. Our Tenant Purchase Training & Technical Assistance program provides tenants support as they navigate the process of forming a tenant association and converting to cooperative-owned housing through development consulting, community partnerships, and ongoing trainings through our knowledge sharing-network of resident leaders.
Affordable Rental Housing
Our development and renovation of affordable rental housing helps to increase the stock of affordable rental units available and to prevent the displacement of individuals and families with low-incomes. Our development takes place through both the acquisition of neglected buildings on the verge of being converted into high-end condos and the conversion of vacant lots into new affordable rental buildings.
Homes for Sale
We build new and renovate existing vacant buildings into energy efficient, affordable homes to sell to low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. After developing the homes, we then work with community partners to support buyers to help them access financing and facilitate their goal of purchasing high- quality, energy-efficient, and long-lasting homes.

Genesis Intergenerational Community
Based on a national model of intergenerational communities, we developed Genesis in 2015 as a 27-unit building with a specially designed community kitchen, meeting room, garden, and library. At Genesis, young moms who grew up in foster care live alongside seniors living on fixed incomes and other community-minded families.

The relationships at Genesis help me see myself differently, to believe I can achieve my dreams and to be there so my kids can too.
Each family Mi Casa puts back in a home provides a building block for a community.
The [Genesis Program] is loving and caring. They are like family.
Mi Casa’s training academy helps me stay informed. It is how I learn more about cooperatives.
It’s a blessing to have someone like Mi Casa walk you through the process, train you and then hand over the reins to you so you can steer your own ship. Working with Mi Casa is really empowering.
The comfort, feeling good about a new place, and getting to know and care for my neighbors, getting to be part of a family – I love it here. It makes me feel safe.
Mi Casa’s training academy helps me stay informed. This is the best help, and now I can understand more about cooperatives. A good resource.
…I need to be in a community that I feel like I can thrive in and that I have something to offer something beneficial to somebody else and that was this kind of community…and being around young people and the vibrancy of this community helps me a great deal.
