A Look into Chicagoland’s Inherent Homes L3C Revitalizing Building Approach

In today's housing industry, where affordability and sustainability often clash, Inherent L3C is pioneering a revolution. Founded by Tim Swanson, Inherent is driven by a profound mission—to provide better housing for more people, particularly in communities like Chicago's West Side. Their unique approach combines innovation, community empowerment, and environmental consciousness.

At the heart of Inherent's methodology lies the concept of Inherent Home Process—a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology, community employment, and a commitment to real-time education. Located in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, their manufacturing facility churns out high-performance electric smart homes, unaffected and protected from the harsh and unpredictable Chicago weather conditions. With a workforce predominantly hailing from the West and South sides of Chicago, Inherent offers invaluable opportunities for individuals entering the trades for the first time, creating a pathway to sustainable careers and economic stability.

One standout feature on an Inherent home is the integration of Glen-Gery’s Thin Tech Brick system. This approach not only ensures element durability with minimal maintenance, but also pays homage to Chicago's architectural heritage of brick facades. By utilizing Thin Tech, Inherent achieves a delicate balance between structural integrity and environmental responsibility, reducing the carbon footprint while maintaining the aesthetic appeal reminiscent of traditional brick homes.

Inherent's commitment to excellence extends beyond construction techniques to material selection and design. Every aspect of their homes, from flooring to roofing, is meticulously chosen to ensure quality, longevity, and functionality. The use of high-quality materials not only enhances the lifespan of the homes but also reduces utility costs for homeowners, making sustainable living more accessible.

Brickworks Supply Center – Chicagoland distributes the Thin Tech and Masonry options to Tim and his team on many of Inherent’s projects. Together, we aim to transform vacant lots into thriving communities, one home at a time. By providing comprehensive support to prospective homeowners, including counseling and resources for credit repair, Inherent fosters a culture of empowerment and ownership within neighborhoods.

Inherent's innovative approach to home construction transcends mere building projects—it's about rebuilding communities and revitalizing the American dream of homeownership. With a steadfast commitment to quality, sustainability, and community engagement, Inherent L3C stands as a beacon of hope for working-class Americans seeking to own a piece of the American dream in the vibrant city of Chicago and beyond.
