3. We need to raise money for Airconditioning/Heat mini splits. we have raised enough for 5 as of April, we still need 7 more
4. Continuing Goal of raising funds for 100+ Acres

We have (2) Programs running in 2023 (Update All housettes are built 2024)
We are currently building emergency Cube rooms on existing properties, these are 8x8, 8x12 and have a shared common area for Bathroom, kitchen and sitting/Tv/Games. Each cube is 2600.00 and 3 are completed
(we did not reach this goal and it is a carry forward goal)
We are still raising funds for the build on the 133 Acre Property, Rough number are; this will be a 15,000,000 dollar build, but it can house 440 homeless veterans when it completed.  All dollars not needed for direct care of the 12 residents we currently have go directly to this build.

20 Homes for (single adult) veterans, 9 Family homes, 9 which will be veterans who will also work on site full time, Emergency housing for 60 (military bunk style)

Question 7

Would you use solar for electricity?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are all about making the village green as possible when and where we can. 
We have been looking for a solar company to partner with so that we can accomplish all our green goals. Solar, we hope, will be the main source for everything electrical. We think this is important especially since the last freeze in Texas. Our long term goal is to build a solar farm so that we can sell back to the grid and maybe help pay for the village.

Question 8

Would you use Septic and Aquaponic Greenhouses

Accepted Answer

Yes! Going green as possible is our goal! 
 
We would designate the land which would be used for septic and aquaponic greenhouses.
 
We will apply to the State of Texas for our septic permit and seek out a producer and installer for the septic, this septic would be for all “neighborhoods” in the future as well as the first areas we will build.

Question 9

What about water?

Accepted Answer

We will have the land tested for well water (even if on rural water) to reduce the cost of the village’s utilities over the years. If well water would be available, we will look into getting wells drilled and using the solar for water pumps.

Question 10

Have you found the property for the village?

Accepted Answer

Sadly No Covid has set us back years on acquiring property for the large village but we are always on the look out
