Inexpensive Senior Housing That’s Dignified

Each home in Paws & Porchlight would cost about $100,000 to install—a fraction of what it takes to build a traditional home or senior facility.

But this project isn’t just about numbers. It’s about knowing what it feels like to live on a fixed income and still want something beautiful.

We aren’t trying to reinvent housing. We’re trying to bring it back down to earth.

You know the feeling: sitting outside as dusk arrives, your dog curled up nearby, someone walking past who knows your name—maybe even your birthday. That’s the kind of community Paws & Porchlight is built to restore.
