The End Homelessness in 100 Days Project
To end homelessness it is necessary to take people off the street and provide a structure where they can pursue a positive purpose that can add value to our society. The programs now in place give handouts of food, services and now suggesting housing first. This is not only demeaning to folks who have stepped off the ladder to success but it is also not sustainable.
When past wars were fought forts and military bases were build almost overnight. There are numerous decommissioned assets in the SF / Marin area that can be established as base camps. Places where lives can be accessed and restarted.
There is authority to do this. Homeland Security has requested space at a military base to house immigrants. (SFChronicle.com June 28, 2018 / Colleen Long article)
Base camps are the first step on that ladder to success. The initial guidelines are minimal and will develop overtime to fit individual requirements. The one rule is that everyone will work on a common project. The Soil Project is the base line universal project to introduce basic skills and form teams that work well together in value added entrepreneurial efforts.
Soil is the common denominator that everyone uses as a tool to learn communication skills and grow fruits with taste and nutrition. The competition is which team can produce the tastiest tomato. Base camp members will be given the opportunity to discuss and implement the procedures that best fit there needs to be better citizens. ( see “The Timeless Way of Building” by Christopher Alexander.)
Rapid Results Institute can show how to put in place the first OpRestart base camp in 100 days. RRI has helped achieve unreasonably ambitious results of what can be accomplished in 100 Days!
