What We Do

ASSIST's Community Design program partners with nonprofit organizations, community groups, and local governments to provide high-quality architectural and planning services to those who would otherwise not have access to professional design assistance.

Our Services

Architectural Design

Full architectural services for residential, commercial, and community buildings — from schematic design through construction documents.

Community Planning

Master planning, site analysis, and community engagement processes that center resident voices in shaping the built environment.

Multi-Family Housing

Design for affordable and mixed-income housing that prioritizes dignity, community, and long-term livability for residents.

Who We Work With

We partner with nonprofit housing organizations, community development corporations, faith communities, local governments, and other mission-driven organizations seeking thoughtful design services at accessible rates.

If you have a project that could benefit from professional design support, we'd love to hear from you.
