Restoring Lives.
Building Dignity
Collaboratively Help End Homelessness And Recidivism Through Creative Housing Solutions And Innovative Training Programs
R3 empowers those at risk of homelessness to build their own future through partnering with churches, local communities and others to develop beautiful, attainable modular home communities where they can live, recover and reestablish themselves back into community. R3 works alongside prisons, youth build construction programs and local manufacturing facilities to help at-risk adults and youth in gaining valuable job training skills, while offering housing from single ADUs to 30+ unit villages with turnkey solutions. R3’s services include feasibility and entitlement studies, site and housing design, budgeting and financial considerations, site and housing construction, permitting, and ultimate occupancy of tenants. Our teams helps ensure successful completion of the projects with ongoing helping coordinate property management and wrap-around services.
Our ultimate goal is to create pathways out of poverty that rebuild both lives and communities.
We have the privilege of helping transform lives through comprehensive construction skills training for individuals from marginalized backgrounds. This includes those currently incarcerated that participate in our building vocational programs, or 18- to 25 year-old youth considered impoverished and high-risk, and even adult men recovering from drug or alcohol abuse.
*OUR SOLUTIONS
Attainable Micro housing solutions.
Our innovative micro homes provide dignified, sustainable housing at a fraction of traditional costs. These space-efficient units offer everything needed for comfortable living while remaining truly attainable for those transitioning from homelessness or financial hardship. Each design prioritizes quality, durability, and community integration.
Redemptive Skills training programs.
We transform lives through comprehensive construction skills training for individuals from marginalized backgrounds. Participants gain valuable certifications in various building trades while working on actual housing projects. This hands-on approach creates pathways to stable employment, financial independence, and personal restoration.
Transformative Community development approach.
Our cottage communities go beyond housing to foster connection, support, and growth. We carefully design these micro-villages with shared spaces, sustainable features, and access to essential services. Each development becomes a nurturing environment where residents rebuild their lives while contributing to a vibrant, supportive neighborhood.

When I first joined the construction training at CDCR, I had no idea it would change my life. Today, I have stable housing, a good-paying job in construction, and hope for my future. R3 gave me more than skills—they gave me a second chance.
After years of housing instability, moving into my R3 micro home felt like a miracle. It's not just a roof—it's my sanctuary. The community here supports each other, and for the first time in a long time, I can sleep peacefully knowing I'm home.
