AHCoin
Affordable Housing Coin — an earned path to a home, not a handout and not a loan.
AHCoin is an affordable housing plan. You earn it, you don't buy it — through everyday actions that already support your community:
Buying products or services from people or companies
Donating items to certain thrift stores
Doing a work-study program
Sharing the AHCoin plan with businesses and others
Six Levels, Location-Dependent
AHCoin has six levels — the value or usefulness of your AHCoin depends on where you plan to live:
Bronze level might get you a tiny house in Seattle — or a full studio apartment in a smaller town, where housing costs less to begin with. Utilities and other expenses may still apply on top of your AHCoin level.
Higher levels unlock bigger dwellings. Choose to live smaller than your level allows, and you can take the difference back as cash — downsizing pays you, instead of costing you.
How AHCoin Works
- Non-Transferable
AHCoin has no cash value and generally can't be transferred to someone else.
- Founder Coin
The exception: "Founder" AHCoin, offered to help buy specific properties, is transferable — you can sell it.
- Governance
AHCoin holders vote for a building's Trustees while they're tenants. Trustees keep the building running. Each building is its own non-profit entity, with ownership safeguards built in.
- Eligibility
No age limit, no location limit. If you receive cash out of this program, it's reported as taxable income above the current $600 threshold.
- Terms
The AHCoin program's terms can be upgraded at any time as the plan develops.
Founder AHCoin is currently offered to help acquire buildings in Washington State and Oregon.
