Communities need affordable housing and they want to share some of the secrets to making your home profitable. Felicia and David started Uncle Dave's Housing in January of 2010.

One of the biggest problems throughout our modern society is the cost of living and lack of community. People are signing away their paychecks on rent and feeling increasingly isolated. We're on a personal mission to solve these problems through the CoLiving movement by helping redefine the term ‘housemate’ with something meaningful, sustainable, and flexible on a global level. People now are choosing access over ownership and new real estate projects need to be built specifically for the way humans are deciding to live together. These interviews feature experts in the field who share their own successes and journeys.
