build better homes and communities
For more than 30 years, Rhode Island Housing has been dedicated to ensuring that all people who live and work in Rhode Island can afford a safe, healthy home, and afford to keep it. In partnering with builders and developers,
cities and towns,
legislators
and community agencies
throughout the state’s urban, suburban and rural areas, we have worked together to help Rhode Island families become active, successful, contributing members of their communities.

As the founding partner of the KeepSpace
initiative, Rhode Island Housing is bringing together advocates for jobs, the environment, safe homes and the many components that are essential to a good, safe, healthy community to create KeepSpace Communities: where neighbors meet, people work, children play. Instead of working independently of each other to create small pockets of success in each area, the partners will work TOGETHER to create neighborhoods where a healthy environment is as valued as safe homes and good jobs. By attempting to reuse existing developed land that has been underutilized or abandoned, KeepSpace communities will help preserve a precious Rhode Island commodity: open space. Creative partnerships will result in thriving neighborhoods with good-paying jobs, and homes that are beautiful, convenient and affordable. Schools, services, church and cultural centers would all be close-by. Close proximity, coupled with conveniences like bike paths and public transit will help minimize traffic and air pollution. And green building practices will protect and reuse natural resources.
