New Story Inc
We pioneer solutions to end global homelessness.
Mission
New Story is a Y Combinator-backed nonprofit building thriving communities in the developing world. We work to create breakthrough tools, drive innovations, and identify best practices (our "Housing Innovation Toolkit") that power nonprofits, governments, and businesses that are working towards designing communities for those in need. We imagine a world where every family has the opportunity to thrive. We believe a home is the beginning of the economic uplift needed to transition out of day-to-day survival-mode living.

Programs and results
What we aim to solve
1B+ humans live without safe shelter. We serve families who live day-to-day: by necessity, they're focused on providing the next meal, the next drink of water, and the next safe place to sleep. We imagine a world where every family has the opportunity to thrive. A home is the beginning of the economic uplift needed to transition out of survival mode.

3D Printed Homes
In 2018, we worked with our partner ICON to build the first permitted 3D printed home in the US. The home was built in less than 48 hours, for a fraction of the cost of a typical new construction.
In 2019, we’ve been working with ICON to develop the Vulcan 2: a printer designed to build 3D printed homes for those who need them most. The Vulcan 2 will provide:
- Greater affordability per home
- Significant decrease in construction time
- Better quality and longterm security
Within the next year, we’ll break ground on the first community of 3D printed homes in history.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We pioneer solutions to end global homelessness.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
At New Story, we CREATE hardware, software, and process solutions for the social housing sector. We iterate on our products until we can PROVE their potential to drive scalable global impact. We SHARE our solutions with nonprofits and governments around the world working to bring shelter to the 1B+ people currently in need.
Through our CREATE > PROVE > SHARE model, we democratize our products within the social housing sector, and are constantly pursuing new breakthroughs.
Traditional and linear methods will never reach the !B+ people who need adequate shelter. We believe taking calculated risks on innovative ideas will allow us to reach more families exponentially faster, with the best possible solutions.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Through building homes and communities, we seek to identify the biggest pain-points within the social housing sector. Equipped with a Technology team, R&D team, and Impact Data team, we are able to quickly develop solutions and directly address these inefficiencies and market failures. After thoroughly data-proving our work, we share our tools and lessons learned with our partners and the larger sector.
The unique blend of New Story's core competencies, distinct products and processes, and committed forward-thinking donors, all enable New Story to be the trusted innovation partner and "R&D arm" for the social housing sector.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
So far, we've built 22 communities across 4 countries, impacting 11,000+ lives in just 5 years.
Additionally, we have developed partnerships with 25 organizations across 10 countries and 4 continents through democratizing our software tools, and look forward to continuing to expand our impact through sharing our technology.
We aim to continue to scale and build homes, while also empowering other organizations in our sector to build better homes, faster.
