We lost our bank loan due to increases in interest rates and material costs in March 2020. We have been trying to use donations and volunteers to keep project going until we can find a low interest loan. 200 year old post and beam house renovation into 4 accessible apartments for Environmental Illness. This is a disability with no
affordable/accessible housing in NYS. One stair case is a straight shot and one is a combination straight and curved. We have the treads and backs and need the stringers made and installed. Even doing only the simpler straight set of stairs is helpful and moves us ahead. Need carpentry skills, experience with stairs, and tools that you need above the basics... which we have. We will provide materials. No smoking, aftershave, or laundry fragrances on clothes ....Please. This is part of the disability - hyper sensitivity to smells. Time and day is at your convenience. A helper is available.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement : to create and coordinate development of a " Limited Equity" "Scattered Site Cooperative" for housing in NYS dedicated to the restrictive life style required by chemically and electrically sensitive people.
Description
We are a small group of disabled people who came together and created a non profit to address the complete lack of affordable and accessible housing in NYS. Housing is the single most important first step in managing Environmental Illness. There is no accessible housing and no funding path to develop it. We are currently working on a site we hope to turn into three or four accessible apartments in our scattered site, limited equity, cooperatively administered non-profit. We need to upgrade our web site and find donors, or a low interest loan, or a recapturable grant. We meet by phone.
