At SEEED, we believe nothing stops poverty like homeownership.
SEEED’s first-ever solar home is currently under construction in the Lonsdale community - one of the most impoverished areas of Knoxville. After construction is complete the home will be sold well under market value to a low-income family to create instant equity and the opportunity for generational wealth.
You can help us make homeownership attainable for a local low-income family. Volunteer to help us install roof trusses and complete other light construction work. PPE is required (hard hat, safety vest, eye protection, and safety boots) and must be provided by the volunteer.
Learn more about our Solar-Powered Home:
This home features green technologies such as a solar panel, backup solar battery, micro-grid circuit, tankless water heater, concrete walls, and smart home technology that will create a home with a low carbon footprint and a vastly decreased utility bill. Furthermore, SEEED pays young adults to learn construction skills during our solar home build and create a sustainable career with livable wages that enable them to thrive.
