How the Donations Can Work

Funding the First Veterans Village

Each nonprofit must raise $525,000,000 to build one Veterans Village (housing 2,016 veterans in a single village 336 three‑bedroom apartments, in six buildings.

Donation Model Built for Everyone

To reach this goal of housing the first 2,016 of the the 32,782 veterans in need of permite housing, we need 719,178 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 17 Veterans Villages across the nation.

This will allow us to build the first of seventeen Veteran's Villages Across America.

Each donor 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. .

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 $485,000,000 has been raised.

The remaining funds will furnish and equip the Village once te first building is truned over to the nonprofit to run their operations out of at around year eight.

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 int 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 homeless veterans are housed, while 13,000 remain on the streets on any given night.

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

A Call to Action

We the People must step in 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 Construction $525,000,000.00

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

Corporate‑Funded Operations of $60,000.00 the first year for a single Village.

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

These funds need to be raised at the same time as construction funds so when it is time to open the first building for housing our Veterans the funds will be available.

Where to Build Veterans Villages

Where to Build Veterans Villages

A proposed plan for building Veterans Villages near selected VAMC hospitals and in states with the greatest need for supportive housing.

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 permanent supportive housing for 2,016 veterans. The full project budget is projected at $525,000,000, with funds raised from individuals donors across America.

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.

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 $485,000,000 has been collected, construction can begin. The contractor would be selected through a closed-bid submission process. The remaining funds, up to the full $525,000,000, would be used to provide furniture and equipment for the village once it opens.
