1M100Y Initiative: Housing 1 Million People in 100 Years
Haven exists to increase the quantity and quality of housing options for under-served communities. We envision a world where nobody lacks quality housing options. Towards this vision, Haven has committed to a lofty goal of creating housing for 1,000,000 people in 100 years.
WHY
In 2021 there are an estimated 150M people experiencing homelessness in the world, part of an estimated 1.5B people with inadequate or insecure housing. We believe that this will only be further exacerbated by current global issues including housing supply shortages, regional conflict and climate crisis.
This commitment creates a framework for our work that will long outlast the firm’s founders and builds towards a shared legacy that we will leave behind together.
HOW
Together. With our exceptional staff and our incredible client-partners, we will create high quality housing to serve this enormous need. These homes may be created exclusively by our firm, but more often will be the result of complex partnerships where we are a service provider or part of a joint venture. We measure housing units towards this goal upon completion based on income and household size.
