  • "Building missing middle housing is like weaving the threads of community, where the builder becomes an architect of connectivity. It's about creating spaces that bridge the gaps between neighbors, generations, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It's a powerful act of empowerment, providing housing options that are attainable, diverse, and sustainable. A builder who embraces the mission of constructing missing middle housing understands that they are not just constructing walls and roofs, but laying the foundation for vibrant, inclusive communities that thrive on the strength of diversity and the unity of shared spaces."
