This gap leaves families struggling to find affordable housing amidst high prices and interest rates.The solution seems simple: build more homes. However, traditional construction methods have their own problems, scattered supply chains, out-dated materials, long build times, and lack of environmental innovation.A 2023 report from RMI showed that new home construction in America produces over 50 million tons of carbon emissions each year—similar to the annual emissions of Norway.This issue isn't just about economics; it's also about the environment.Traditional construction harms the planet, using up resources, increasing carbon emissions, and creating waste.We need innovative solutions that provide shelter while protecting the environment.That’s where Onx Homes comes in.The company believes it has the answer to these challenges.CauseartistOur mission is to empower and inspire social entrepreneurs, impact investors, impact professionals, and conscious consumers, who are dedicated to creating a more sustainable and regenerative world.⏺ Weekly Podcasts⏺ Weekly Newsletter⏺ Deep Dive Interviews⏺ Community(coming soon)To learn more, please visit causeartist.com.
