With affordable housing a buzzword across the nation, a local effort will be showcased Aug. 28.

The Brickworks, located at the corner of Taylor Avenue and Grand Avenue East in Chatham, is the focus of a discussion session.

Put on by Opportunity Villages Community Land Trust (OVCLT), the event takes place within Fellowship Hall at St. Andrew’s United Church on William Street in Chatham.

OVCLT said The Brickworks “promises to transform lives and build a stronger community.”

It’s an eco-friendly housing development, a cluster of small homes (ranging from 600 to 950 square feet in size). Parties can rent or purchase a home in the all-inclusive community, OVCLT officials said.

OVCLT is looking for investors as well.

“By investing in this volunteer-led non-profit project, you’ll be part of a movement that addresses the real needs of families and individuals in Chatham. Our unique model combines financial sustainability with social responsibility and ensures that affordable housing remains accessible for generations to come,” OVCLT officials said in a media release. “We are inviting donations, partnerships, and active involvement in the project’s development.  Your support will bring this vision to life.”

The Aug. 28 meeting will showcase The Brickworks’ design and financial model. There will be time set aside for questions as well.

The event takes place at 7 p.m.
