How the Donations Can Work

Where to build the Veterans Villages

Funding the first Veterans Village

Each nonprofit must raise $685,000,000 to build one Veterans Village, housing 2,016 veterans in a single village, 336 bedrooms in each of the six buildings.

Donation Models for Everyone

To reach this goal of housing the first 2,016 of the the 32,782 veterans in need of housing, we need 938,356 donors at $1,00 a day committed to a two‑year plan.

Anyone wishing to help in another projerct can start donating to a second nonprofit working on building one of the other 16 Veterans Villages across the nation.

A second set of donors contributes $1 per day for two years and we have the funding for a second village.

If a single veteran recruits nine supporters, each team member, donates only $0.10 per day over two years.

For those who need to stretch out the donations, use the, $0.50 a day for four year program.

If you start a team of twenty members and each member donates $0.05 a day for two years .

How Funds Will Be Used

The nonprofit will be assigned duties and compensated for completing them.

The first step is hiring a local architect to begin design work.

Construction begins once $585,000,000 has been raised.

The remaining $100M will furnish and equip the Village once te first building is truned over to the nonprofit to run their operations at around year eight years.

Where the Need Is Greatest

California has the highest need, requiring 9,310 beds — enough to justify building five or even a sixth Veterans Villages in the state.

California also has multiple VAMC Hospitals with open land close enough for placement of a Village nearby.

At Mather field California is a location I have been looking into which meets nearly every need for a place to build on of these Veteran's Villages. I propose this site be the first of the seventeen sites in America.

The National Housing Crisis for Veterans

The need for permanent housing continues nationwide.

Many believe the federal government’s efforts fall far short.

Only 19,000 or 68% of the homeless veterans are sheltered, while 13,000 or 32% of the Veterans remain on the streets on any given night. This is unacceptable and has cauaed us to look into a better way to get the job done completely.

Why aren’t there 32,000 shelter beds reserved for veterans?

A Call to Action

We the People need to step up where government efforts have failed.

As America 250th birthday is on July 4th, it is time to honor those who served.

We must show our pride for those who put their lives on the line for us.

Citizen‑Funded Constructiof $685,000,000.00

Initial construction costs will be covered by donations from citizens across the country.

Corporate‑Funded Operations costs of $64,000.00 the first year for a single Village.

Each Veterans Village will be operated through annual donations from corporate and other sponsors.

These operational funds need to be raised once the construction funds are raised, so when it is time to open the first building for housing those funds will be available.

The fund raising must continue so the next years funding will be available each of the folling years.

Housing Concept

Each apartment would include three bedrooms, making it possible to house a veteran and their family in their own apartment. The plan also includes using two first-floor areas, in two separate buildings, for ADA-accessible apartments.

Each proposed Veterans Village would provide Permanant Supportive Housing for 2,016 veterans. The full project budget is projected at $685,000,000, with funds raised from individual donors across the Nation.

Funding and Construction Process

As funds are raised, the nonprofit organization would be assigned its duties and receive a percentage of donations to perform those duties. The nonprofit would be responsible for hiring an architect to begin designing the plans, with the assistance of Three Vets Organization consultation.

Once the first portion of funds has been raised, the nonprofit would lease land, ideally from the county agency that controls the property, and purchase a nearby motel to operate from during the development phase.

When the base amount of $685,000,000 has been collected, construction can begin. The contractor would be selected through a closed-bid submission process. The remaining funds, up to the full $685,000,000, would be used to provide furniture and equipment for the village once it opens.

California Need and Three next Proposed Sites

California has the highest state need, with 9,310 beds. This plan proposes building five or even six Veterans Villages in the state of California. California has several VAMC hospitals that could be considered for placement of a Veterans Village.

The next need is 2,333* beds in Florida. The third hightest need is 1,837 beds in Texas, and Washington regional area needing 1,985 beds.

*The need for 2,333 beds will require a seventh building to be built in the village located in Florida
