Subsidized Housing for Urban Farmers Program
Our Subsidized Housing for Farmers Program is more than just a housing solution. It’s a community-driven initiative that provides urban farmers with a clear pathway to homeownership, nurtures local food production, and ensures that long-time residents can remain a vital part of their neighborhoods.
How it Works
Become a Participant
The Subsidized Housing for Farmers program prioritizes those who experience systemic barriers to home ownership, including: women and femmes, formerly unhoused folks, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and single mothers.
​​
This program is ideal for those who already have a passion for growing food, and want to align that skill with a pathway to home ownership or a land lease.
Meet our Program Manager
Ashley Finley is a California native who is currently living in so-called Salt Lake City. She is a Black woman, a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a friend, a dog mom, a nature lover, a birth keeper, a medicine maker, a poet, an activist, and an educator. Her passion lies in the liberation of all colonized and oppressed people and in the facilitating of a return to sacred, ancestral knowledge that bloomed before colonization and capitalism.
Community Resilience Model
Our programs adapt the community resilience model by weaving together affordable housing, healthy food access, and mutual support. Through integrating equitable policies, trauma-informed care, and local food initiatives into our programming, we contribute to healthy, thriving, resilient communities.
This model has been adapted from the Center for Community Resilience.
