Our Mission
Connecting homeowners and builders to develop stronger communities.
Paradise Community Homes brings aspiring homeowners, partner builders, grant funding, and local leadership together to create affordable homes and balanced neighborhoods that contribute to the long-term strength of the community.
Our Background
A grant-powered nonprofit response to a real housing need
Paradise Community Homes was founded and incorporated in Indiana in April 2024 and operates as a 501(c)(3) Indiana nonprofit corporation. Born from the need for modest, affordable new housing, our mission is to develop communities and connect aspiring homeowners with the partner builders who can help bring those communities to life.
Grants, donated support, and collaborative builder relationships allow us to build at a price point other new-home providers are not currently serving. That structure helps keep costs down for applicants while creating sustainable homes and stronger neighborhoods.
