The Story Behind
Impact Co-Living
From Traditional Real Estate to Impact-Driven Housing
CoHaven Capital was born from a realization that the co-living industry was leaving its greatest opportunity on the table. While operators competed for market-rate tenants in an increasingly crowded rent-by-the-room space, an entire ecosystem of government-backed housing programs remained untapped by sophisticated real estate investors.
Charles Rossano and Anthony Free saw what others missed: the intersection of high-yield co-living and mission-driven housing. Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, HUD vouchers, and state-level transitional housing funds represent nearly $100 billion in annual spending — and the organizations administering these programs desperately needed quality housing partners.
Rather than building another rent-by-the-room operation, they built a model together that partners directly with nonprofit organizations serving individuals in recovery, reentry, and rehousing programs. The result is Impact Co-Living — a category that didn't exist before CoHaven Capital created it.
But housing people wasn't enough. Charles and Anthony recognized that the real wealth gap in America isn't about income — it's about ownership. Homeowners hold a median net worth of $396,200 compared to just $10,400 for renters. That's a 38x multiplier. So they developed the ROC CoOwner program: a co-ownership pathway that turns renters into homeowners with recorded deeds, real equity, and a path to generational wealth. The goal is audacious but measurable — 10,000 homeowners, 10,000 family trees changed, $3.86 billion in generational wealth created.
