Community

Our Ethos

Our long-term ownership approach allows us to provide our residents with a stable, safe, and desirable living environment while protecting the investments made in our properties.

Community Benefits

  • Essential Workers

    Novis Living builds homes for essential workers in every profession including first responders, teachers, home health aides, daycare, postal, and food service workers and government and retail employees.

  • First Responders

    When qualified essential workers — firefighters, nurses, and pharmacy technicians — are forced to relocate because they can’t afford to live in the communities they support, the shortage of their services makes it difficult to encourage companies to invest in an area, thus stagnating growth and preventing the creation of new job opportunities.

  • Growth

    Clean, safe, and affordable housing supports individuals and families — and it drives growth and stability for communities as well.

Community Participation

We are committed to reaching people where they are and working with stakeholders and community members to translate complex technical information into something everyone can understand.

Our team’s strong technical skills drive responsive, responsible solutions to complex challenges — while our firm commitment to inclusive engagement ensures that those who will be affected by our proposals are involved in shaping them.

Equal Employment

Because affordable housing is integral to community development, we’re committed to engaging MWDBE firms while working actively with our state and local partners to increase diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our development work.

Healthy Communities

Healthy communities are built upon active residents empowered to be champions for their own well-being.

We are committed to implementing a wide range of initiatives and strategies that support strong and vibrant communities — including state-of-the-art green technologies to increase sustainability while protecting the environment and its limited resources.
