Hello everyone, Exciting news! We have a couple of events coming up
and several other announcements. Keep an eye out for our new email
newsletter format we will be testing soon.

We have the opportunity to have donations matched up to $500. Please
consider making a financial contribution to help give us a push start.

Living Paradigm is a non-profit organization committed to building
affordable housing out of salvaged and reclaimed materials. Moving
forward, we are in need of a trailer, insurance and other funding.

If you are interested in getting involved with Living Paradigm as a
volunteer, please let us know. We are gaining momentum and need help
in many ways, including construction volunteers. We anticipate
construction beginning in the near future.
