<div>In response to the national affordable housing crisis, we at Avalon Community Land Trust are raising money to support our project: building a large, very affordable cooperative house in Bloomington, Indiana.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Avalon Garden house will have seven bedrooms plus common areas that will be home to 7-10 low income Bloomington neighbors. Not to mention the restored Avalon Garden next door
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost for living in the Avalon Garden Cooperative House will be $400 a month - very affordable in Bloomington!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are making progress:
</div>
<ul>
<li>We have the land;
</li>
<li>we have permits and zoning;
</li>
<li>we have plans and a contractor.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This spring we started construction!! Very exciting to watch the workers make progress - in spite of the constant rain which turned the dirt into mucky gumbo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although we are extremely pleased with the way things have gone, we are still hoping to raise enough money to install solar panels, and build the "winter courtyard/summer stage" area that makes Avalon Garden House so special.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also want to expand our efforts and build and remodel additional housing units. We have big ideas and dreams: a whole neighborhood that is affordable and woven into the fabric of the near north side area of Bloomington
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will help us realize our dreams and create the community spaces that make a neighborhood special and unique.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please feel free to visit our [email redacted] for more information about the project and Community Land Trusts in general.

<div>Our website now includes "Construction News" that shows what's happening on the job site.  Drop by and see what our donors have helped make possible!
