(Homeless & Housing Work Program)




Because of time constraints, I'm redoing a bunch of these projects and plans I'd done YEARS (literally DECADES) AGO. Sadly, they still make sense, and could be used. Nothing new under the sun I guess. Anyways, this one's about a homeless and housing revitalization program. I'll just outline some things here, and as i get time and as the updates come to me, i'll fill in the gaps and blanks.
Overall Concept:
1. Churches work with home-schools to create a non-profit so they can get property and funding.
2. Those properties are outfitted to have home based businesses, can be rented out as office space, conference rooms, and computer labs.
3. the kitchen areas can be able to create a small restaurant or food pantry program, so storage and food-safety prep is crucial.
4. There should be yard space, for recreation, and growing some food and needed medicines (herbs, natural organic)
5. The churches (especially the senior members who've survived things and KNOW how to survive things) should work with the youth to create a homeless feeding program. This will establish the presence in the community for the property. The church and others should already have a presence in the community.
6. From there, thorugh networking with the homeless in the area, it can be assessed which skills and who's "hungry" enough to make good on an opportunity to start a home business in that property owned by the non profit. This gives those homeless individuals a chance to not get a job, but have their own business. The responsibility to continue in their economic freedom is on them, because anyone can show up and half-ass it at a job just for a check, and hate every second of it. This way, they're creating a lifestyle, their own home and business, and rebranding themselves in the community, guided by the schools and churches participating. They can work until they pay off the house (buying it from the non profit) and then continue as productive citizens with a functioning home and business.
ALL OF THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. If you're interested or have any input, I'm all ears. I just think of things I'd like to do, or at least help with in some way, to make the world a little easier and more livable for folks, and this is one of the things I haven't really seen. No one can own an idea, only embody it-- says me. So, whoever wants to do it, go right ahead. This is just a seed for a bonsai tree. You grow it and shape it however it fits you and your program or abilities. I just want to see it up and running and doing well in a social media or news post, instead of all of the negative crap we're bombarded with to program us... how's about some positive liberation, aye?
