SEI Place projects housing workshops with the community

Ground-up approach

These sites will serve as nodes of community life, featuring affordable and workforce housing paired with culturally grounded programs such as daycare centers, business hubs, and cultural spaces.

SEI aims to spark monumental change through small, intentional actions—honoring the past, addressing displacement, and creating vibrant, inclusive communities.
