To Solve Housing, an open source Microfactory can be embedded and run by the community. This facility has:

  1. Production - base for a Seed Eco-Home building operation
  2. Training and education - both for builders and for Movement Entrepreneurs. Includes sweat equity and Department of Labor Apprenticeships
  3. Machine and Heavy Equipment Library - at the end of the day it's moving dirt, land stewardship, building, planting, etc. Access to appropriate technology equipment, maintained by the community - and available at low cost - is a key aspect. High maintenance costs are addressed in this model with open source machines that meet or exceed industry standards at a fraction of the cost.
  4. Enterprise incubation - between chambers of commerce, foundations, and enterprise education - we brew social entrepreneurs with advancement options to movement enterprise.
  5. Volunteering - organizing individuals and companies to help out in affordable housing
  6. Recycling - bring your excess lumber, plastic waste, yard waste and we shred it or process itvto gravel, mulch, lumber, concrete, and 3D printing filament.
