Little Haven Homes is working to revive the true starter home - small, affordable, and accessible houses that bring back the possibility of buying a home for everyday people.
To expand equitable access to homeownership by challenging the barriers — physical, financial, environmental, social, and political — that keep people from owning a home.
To prove that small, affordable homes can create big change — restoring access for people and families too often shut out by cost, design, or policy.
Why We Chose to be a Public Benefit LLC (and Not a Nonprofit)
Little Haven Homes is structured as a Public Benefit LLC rather than a nonprofit. This choice is intentional and mission-driven.
No handouts, no gouging:
Little Haven shows there’s a middle ground between public assistance on one end and price-gouging on the other.
Not charity, but equity:
We refuse to believe housing assistance is the only path to affordability.
At Little Haven, every buyer becomes an Owner — building equity and dignity on their own terms.
Protected from greed:
Our Public Benefit status makes it impossible for anyone to commandeer Little Haven to put money ahead of people.
This structure allows Little Haven Homes to operate as a values-driven business model —
demonstrating that affordable, accessible housing can thrive outside of the traditional nonprofit framework.
