At IMBY, our mission is to promote community and build relationships by providing affordable housing solutions. We challenge the notion of ownership and strive to replace it with the concept of stewardship, emphasizing the importance of mutual care and support. We believe that building Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) in backyards is a creative and practical solution to many of the world's housing problems. By embracing tiny homes, we can offer innovative and economically viable solutions to address the affordable housing crisis. Our IMBY initiative is anchored in the circle of support, which aims to foster a sense of connection and reduce the widespread issue of loneliness and isolation. Furthermore, we strongly advocate for creating sustainable and affordable living options, recognizing the urgent need to address the ongoing climate crisis and prioritize responsible stewardship of our planet.
