Brigid's Paradigm:  A low-income housing initiative

Brigid’s Paradigm is a model for families building their own houses with free, salvaged and recycled building materials under the paid guidance of a seasoned builder — a mentor. The mentor can develop plans, prepare documents for obtaining permits, help with materials acquisition and tutoring, allowing the family to do the physical work of building the house. Brigid's Paradigm works in collaboration with the Phoenix Commotion, a low-income housing initiative by homebuilder Dan Phillips.

The first home was built in Huntsville, but plans are underway to build a series of homes in Houston's 5th Ward. Click on the menu to the left on Brigid's Paradigm for photos, updates, links and more.

The Community is dedicated to a celebration of all life and peace through study, meditation, and action and seeks to engage in the spiritual practice of dialogue and conversation. Evening visits to temples and synagogues in addition to Sunday gatherings are proposed for the spring.
