Absolutely. We feel strongly that wherever residences are being built, if there isn't community support, they will not be in a position to thrive. Particularly in Reena's case, inclusivity and community engagement are at the top of our mission. If the community is not involved in funding and with the residents, those we serve will not have appropriate and proper living conditions, and those joining the intentional community consortium have all committed to one-third private funding from local community foundations.
