As Azure continues to scale nationally, one of the most meaningful validations we've received didn't come from an industry award, an investor, or an analyst.It came from the project manager overseeing one of the most innovative supportive housing communities in the country.This week, San Luis Obispo County officially opened Welcome Home Village, a first-of-its-kind supportive housing community built with Azure's technology. The project delivered 54 housing units and community spaces in just 10 months while diverting approximately 6 million plastic bottles from landfills.At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Project Manager Margaret Shepard-Moore shared why Azure was selected:"Instead of telling us why things couldn't be done, he figured out how to get it done."She went on to explain that without Azure's innovative approach, the project would have delivered just 38 units."Because of that creativity and ability to think differently, we would have only been able to afford 38 units, but instead, we have 54 – we have community spaces and a built-up community neighborhood space where people want to come out and meet with their neighbors."She even compared Azure Co-Founder Ross Maguire to Walt Disney:"I consider Ross Maguire to be our project's Walt Disney. Disney World was built in a year. Our project was built in 10 months."For us, this project represents something bigger than housing.It demonstrates how Azure's platform can help governments, nonprofits, developers, and communities build faster, lower costs, and deliver more housing where it's needed most.As we continue to expand with two operating factories, a growing national footprint, and active projects across affordable housing, disaster recovery, hospitality, and residential development, we're proud to help make projects like Welcome Home Village possible.Final Opportunity for Individual InvestorsOur current Wefunder raise closes on June 30.As Azure continues to scale, future growth capital is expected to come from larger institutional and strategic investors.This means June 30 may be the final opportunity for individual investors to participate through a crowdfunding round.Thank you for being part of Azure's journey.
