Housing with dignity
At InkBuilt, we believe safe housing is a human right. Our work is rooted in one simple truth: everyone deserves the safety of shelter and the comfort of home— no matter their identity, status, or experience.
Too often, people who’ve lost housing are treated as problems to be managed rather than neighbors to be valued. We design differently. Every project begins with the lived experience of the people we serve, and every space we create is shaped by trauma-informed principles that center dignity, belonging, and healing.
All of us will thrive when the essential ingredients for a healthy, meaning-filled life are prioritized and made available to everyone.
Beyond Shelter
Housing exists on a continuum—from day centers and access hubs, to shelters and villages, to permanent supportive housing. We design across this entire spectrum, creating spaces that offer stability, safety, and the chance for people to reclaim their lives.
Our approach is not one-size-fits-all. We listen, we learn, and we collaborate with communities to create housing that truly supports the people who live there.

Designing for Community
For us, design is not just about buildings—it’s about relationships. We know thriving communities require more sustainable, interconnected approaches than the status quo and we’re grateful to work alongside the following organizations in our quest for deeper, stronger communities:
Cultivate Initiatives
Building “good soil” for healing through connection, skills, and purpose.
Open Door
Holding inclusive, responsive space for people in transition.
Project Homeless Connect
Bringing safety and resources directly into neighborhoods.
Our Streets
Repairing inequality with nourishment, food, and care.
LoveOne
Delivering deeply considerate permanent supportive housing solutions.
Together, we are shaping more caring, inclusive, and abundant communities—where everyone is welcomed with the dignity and joy they deserve. We look forward to working alongside many more new friends on this shared journey.
