This is a project created by case workers and intends to provide every person with everything they need to lead a happy and successful life.
The funds gained from this project will go towards:
- Developing and implementing new programs for the website
- Modernizing emergency shelters into a community format.
The programs on this site will come in the form of amenities and services.
Some of these will be free, such as the Referral Network which will make it easier to find work even without being employed.
Others will have a cost, such as the Content Creator system which will allow businesses to make deals directly with content creators.
Both of these programs are still in development.
The emergency shelters we will be constructing will not be bunk beds in a building with many other families / strangers, but will be individual homes with enough rooms and garden space to feed the family as well as provide the means for extra income in a variety of ways.
If you beocme a resident you will have total freedom as long as you meet at least once per month with the on site caseworker, and refrain from harming yourself or others.
Other organizations may have strict specifications as to who qualifies to become a resident, but here, we trust you to know when you're having an emergency.
Please make sure you bring your best to this program as we would love to see it grow until everyone has food to eat, a place to stay, and the means to find fulfilling work.
