Planning Theory of Housing Development by the Non-Profit Organization in the United States: A Case Study on Habitat for Humanity's Twin Oaks Project at Madison, Wisconsin

Habitat for Humanity of Dane County (HFHDC), which is the non-profit organization in the United States, has been developing new Twin Oaks subdivision in Madison, Wisconsin. HFHDC has provided a mix of housing types, densities, and costs. The plans for Twin Oaks mirror the Madison city’s long-term use envisioned for this property. By the case study about this project, a kind of potentiality of the non-profit organization's initiative in the big project was found out. The non-profit organization can only diversify economical risks and manage to plan the mixed-income subdivision practically. Thus, Twin Oaks could have been realized as the housing environment for ordinary people only by the non-profit organization, which doesn't pursue it's own large profits
