Project Genesis: "Tiny Home for All" Initiative and Online Store
Purpose:
Project Genesis: "Tiny Home for All" aims to address homelessness in Oklahoma through the construction of 20 energy-efficient tiny homes. Serving as a pathway from homelessness to stability, these homes empower individuals to integrate into society as self-sufficient members. Additionally, the project introduces an online store, where proceeds from tiny home sales contribute to the initiative's success.
Target Population:
Focusing on individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, including veterans, families, and vulnerable community members, the project prioritizes those in need to create a supportive environment for their well-being and successful reintegration.
Community Impact:
- Reduction of the overall homeless population, promoting safer neighborhoods.
- Provision of support services such as counseling, job training, and healthcare, fostering self-sufficiency.
- Creation of employment opportunities through the construction, maintenance, and support services of tiny homes, contributing to the local economy.
Contribution to Long-term Well-being:
The project's comprehensive approach ensures residents have access to resources for long-term stability:
- Availability of mental health and counseling services to address trauma and psychological challenges.
- Implementation of vocational training and job placement programs to empower residents with skills for sustainable employment.
- Collaborations with local educational institutions offering educational opportunities for children and adults, promoting personal and professional growth.
Integration into Society:
Encouraging residents' participation in local events and neighborhood initiatives through community-building activities. Partnerships with local businesses facilitate job placement and mentorship, fostering a sense of belonging and community integration.
Online Store:
The project introduces an online store where the sale proceeds of tiny homes directly contribute to the initiative's success. Every purchase from the store becomes a meaningful contribution to the "Tiny Home for All" mission.
Estimated Budget:
- Initial budget: $1.5 million (construction, support services, staffing, operational expenses for the first year).
- Subsequent years: Projected decrease to $800,000 annually, focusing on maintenance and support services for residents.
Project Genesis: "Tiny Home for All" represents a commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive community. The addition of the online store ensures that every purchase contributes to the prosperity of Oklahoma and the success of the initiative.
