Low-cost, off-grid housing - designed collaboratively with the occupants - as part of the Clearfork Community Institute's efforts with Woodland Community Land Trust. The Clearfork Community Institute partners with the Woodland Community Land Trust, a community-initiated organization, whose mission is to purchase and hold lands for local residents who might otherwise be landless. This part of rural Appalachia has a majority of the land owned by out of state and out of country corporations. Through re-purchase of land, local residents have a secure base with which to begin holistic community development from a rural perspective. (text from the Center for Social Concerns)
