Elevate Your
Quality of Life

Teachers, first responders, healthcare workers, and other public-sector employees show up every day to support their communities. Yet as the cost of living continues to rise, many public servants are finding it harder to afford a safe and comfortable place to live near where they work.

We believe housing stability helps public-sector employees feel secure, supported, and able to focus on their important work. Our community developments are designed to provide safe, attainable, and attractive housing with amenities that support everyday life.

Upward Communities partners with public-sector employers to deliver workforce housing for the people who keep communities running.
