Affordable Housing and Workforce Development Pilot
Innovative Designs by David Harmon, OLIO
“We’re inspired by the possibilities of giving our local homeless and disenfranchised a REAL second chance—a NEW BEGINNING. Our program empowers individuals to afford housing while gaining skills that ensure a solid future and a living wage.”

David Harmon’s modern designs and concepts streamline assembly at competitive rates, solving housing challenges in weeks rather than years. His global research ensures the program stays relevant.
