A Better Kind of Life is a non-profit organization formed to design, manufacture and distribute high-quality, environmentally- friendly prefabricated housing that’s affordable for everyone.

We believe that to help mitigate climate change and ensure a safe, healthy future, we must create a new paradigm for living that includes moderation, conservation and self-sufficiency, and that this should be built into our homes.

We believe that as “prevention” is generally better than “cure,” it is more practical and efficient to build to the highest quality to begin with than to spend time and money repairing and replacing later.

We believe all new buildings should be ultra-low energy and should run on alternative power.

We believe all new buildings should have some means of water storage, reuse and conservation.

We believe composting and recycling should be easy and convenient.

We believe everyone should be growing some of their own food to help stop reliance on environmentally detrimental modern agriculture.

We believe that all people, regardless of socio-economic status, race and gender should be able to afford high-quality, healthy, ecologically sound homes.

We believe that preventing homelessness saves taxpayers money in the long run.

As a company, we believe in complete corporate transparency to ensure integrity and compliance. We believe that all employees must be paid a wage or salary that makes it possible to live in the area in which they work and that pay grade should be based on skill and experience, not gender, race or position. We believe that taking care of employees’ needs with paid sick leave, maternity leave, generous paid-time off, retirement plans and comprehensive health care increases productivity and generates loyalty, benefiting both employees and employers.
