Funding the Village
Building the Sacred Roots Village.
Affordable homes, a central community center, and a community garden — rooted in one place, built for generations. Here is what it will take, and how you can help.
Projected investment
An estimated $2,075,000 – $6,075,000 for the full village.
A first phase of 10–15 homes with a shared community center and garden has a practical starting budget of $2.5M – $4M. Figures are planning estimates and will be refined as land and design are secured.
