Community is not possible when people are struggling with basic needs.  I am passionate about transformation in housing insecurity.

For the last 5 years I have been volunteering with various groups including civic, aid organizations, and reserves to connect organizations with options and research inexpensive housing options including AirCrete.  I was able to travel to one of Ted Turner’s ranches in Vermejo, NM where I worked on an installation for employee housing.

Stick built homes are at times expensive and not suitably efficient or fire proof.  AirCrete homes are fire, pest, and climate champions.  They feel wonderful as well when they are rounded.  They are fast to deploy and recyclable that is the material can be ground up and used again. Navajo veterans are waiting 14 years for homes.  Incredible!!  There has to be a better way.

The slides are from the deck I shared with Dr. Crystal Tulley Cordova (Water Leader, Navajo Nation) and Joleyana Begay, Executive Director Phoenix Indian Center. This deck was also shared with the President of the Navajo Nation amongst other groups. This work is ongoing and sometimes slow.  The goal is to cut time and cost to housing and make homes that are naturally insulated, impervious to fire, and a more natural shape.
