To Be Done Studio harnesses the inherent goodness in people and the power of design to create sustainable solutions to the endemic problems that our world faces. We seek a relevant practice, one which is accessible to all rather than the few. To do so, we design and build spaces that uplift, inspire and support power within the communities we work. We believe in the right of future generations to a vibrant, livable, and resilient world. Working alongside grass-roots organizations and large institutions we have developed sustainable solutions that fit the specific needs of our partners. From energy efficient and healthy housing for the formerly homeless, to LEED Platinum Certified buildings or resilient disaster recovery solutions for large institutions -- we believe these solutions should be accessible to all.

They believe that leadership is directed by context and that responsible community development work requires a deep understanding of place. They are committed to living in the places where they work, or partnering with people who are full time residents, to avoid imperialistic pitfalls and generic responses.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE

Hazard, KY

The Housing Development Alliance was formed in 1993, but their umbrella agency, the Hazard-Perry County Community Ministries (HPCCM), has been doing community-oriented work in the area since the 1970s. A couple of members of the HPCCM realized that housing issues were the leading source of financial distress of those coming to the program for help. So they applied for, and received, money from a new HUD program and formally starting addressing housing issues in eastern Kentucky. Help from HDA comes in three primary flavors: new homeownership, home repair, and the HOPE Building program. The HDA averages 20 new homes built per year. A good portion of the labor used to build new homes comes from the HOPE Building program, which works with the Perry County Drug Court and Hickory Hill Recovery Center to offer paid trades training to folks in active addiction recovery.
