We are working towards a Teton community with people of diverse economic backgrounds. We are providing more affordable housing for our workforce to call home while adding to the pool of skilled tradespeople. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/1629986494731-U1GWYYX6FWITH92Z9GRT/62024_10150274692035529_310378065528_14763546_4756158_n.jpg Home - What we do There are three main components of our work: Low-income home loan facilitation, construction, and education. Loan facilitation We can help you learn if you qualify and help you navigate the process of applying. We "package" USDA Rural Development low-income home loans for qualified applicants. The home loan can include both land and construction costs. Construction We provide a qualified General Contractor who will oversee your construction process. Because it is funded through a construction loan, the process and timeline are fairly typical. We supply the plans and engineering for a long-term affordable, energy efficient home, which will be constructed with healthy, natural materials like straw, wood, clay, and lime. Some sweat-equity will be required of you, per USDA loan policy. Our students provide a portion of the labor which helps to reduce the cost of construction. Education There is a wealth of opportunity for careers in the trades in our Teton region. We teach best practices of sustainable construction from the foundation to the roof: Passive House methods of air sealing and insulating, carbon-storing, non-toxic and regional materials as well as craftsmanship are all critical to the process. Students also learn how to integrate services, utilities, and high-performance HVAC systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/1631632418826-FFIDD4VMJEA6ZUY015WW/Artboard+1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/1631632510142-SLCTFVFVX6XUNDV6V27S/Artboard+1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/1631632627605-TD2SN603A5GG9BFVUWCL/Artboard+1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/0ccc1208-d491-4fcd-95ff-ddeba9c7b2ea/LEAP_PRIMARY_LOGO_COLOR.png Home LEAP Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/9185038f-2738-46e6-915f-bd959cac301b/CRC_Logo_CMYK_Hz_SM+%281%29.jpg Home Community Resource Center of Teton Valley https://www.sustainabletradesandhousingpartners.org/connect-with-us daily 0.75 2021-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8c489ef07156b09d1595f/1626921982804-YGWCY2Q1LCWH2QCIYTHI/45940_10150259404450529_310378065528_14403263_4797193_n.jpg Connect with us - Contact us.
