As problems in the world and locally accumulate, as shortages of housing grow, as the cost of housing becomes more unaffordable for more and more, as inflation limits all our options, as we become more polarized, as community decreases, as distrust increases condemning many to loneliness and isolation, as the cost-of-living increases with food prices rising faster than wages, as climate change makes an uncertain future more and more scary, at a time that the traditional models to help solve these problems are not working, something new, innovative, and different must be tried.

When housing is treated as a commodity there are powerful incentives to increase its scarcity and therefore its price. This dynamic is how most real estate works. It is not sustainable that housing should continue to go up faster than people can afford it. Limestone City Co-operative Housing Inc. LCCH is a reaction against the commodification of housing. We do not insist on a down payment or allow for capital to accumulate in housing. This is what LCCH means when we say we are a non-profit, non-share capital, attainable housing co-op.
