A stable home.
A stronger starting point.

The program
More than a bed.
A daily foundation.
Our six-home vision includes four men's homes and two women's homes. Each planned home brings housing, work transportation and on-site support together.
15 → 90
Planned beds, from launch to Year 3
A connection to work
One planned 12-seat passenger van per home, with fuel, maintenance and commercial insurance budgeted for transportation across rotating work shifts.
People and practical support
Two house managers per home, plus a dedicated fund for identification replacement and emergency pantry needs. Small essentials that help daily life move forward.
Three-year funding plan
Build the runway.
Reduce grant dependence.
A proposed $250,000 in grant capital across the first two years supports a phased launch. At full occupancy, the model projects operating self-sufficiency in Year 3.
Planned resident program fee
$150 / week
The revenue model assumes every bed is occupied for 52 weeks. This is a planning estimate, not an enrollment offer; final program terms are not yet published.

What the estimates include. Rent at $3,500 per home per month; utilities at $600; one van at $700; and two manager stipends at $1,500 each. The fleet scales from 1 to 3 to 6 vans—not 12. Year 1 property costs total $61,200, transit and combined insurance $23,400, and staffing and support $39,500.
What still needs validation. Grant awards, lease quotes, permits, insurance and occupancy are not secured. Annual surpluses are not cumulative cash balances. The $14,400 Year 3 margin depends on full occupancy; slower enrollment or higher costs would reduce it.
