Soteria Program Lifestyle of Virtues
The problem is the neglect of patients who have neurological and/or psychological issues when they become homeless as a result. I'm one example of that. Currently, people have to pay all their income for a less than adequate apartment that makes stable employment impossible. Here's a solution:
Lifestyle of Virtues will be a peer-run rehabilitation network with 3 levels. The first 2 grades focus on rehabilitation. The final graduation in the organization, the Tiny-home Employment Program, will result in rested workers using a minimum of transportation. It fulfills critical layers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
A tiny-home provides mobility, a way to move to the area of ones next job. A tiny-home provides affordability, taking about $5,000 to build. It provides a place to sleep because noise from rude neighbors won't be able to travel through the walls since the structure is separate. Some tiny-home parks will be smoking, and others non so everyone will have an asthma-free a place to thrive.
Current zoning laws prevent tiny-home parks from existing on a large scale near jobs, preventing the economy from being productive, thus, creating homelessness. High prices ($50k) of tiny-homes already built prevent the poor from having a chance to thrive. A large incompetency rate in the mental health field prevents most people from having enough self-esteem to want to live. Lifestyle of Virtues would solve all of that, but zoning laws need to cooperate so it's possible.
The first grade is split in two: detox program and residential schooling and wellness camp. Our recommended year-long detox center is a separate building. The school involves physical activity and learning: why and how to obey rules, life skills, gymnastics, scout training, soccer, walks, hikes and backpacking expeditions. Curriculums are designed for optimistic thinking, and coordination. The second grade is the aid program. Rooms are rented out in the houses of people who have the talent to care for the tenants. For example, a neurologist will rent out rooms of his or her house to aid tenants who need neurological care or mentoring. The Tiny-home Employment Program is the final grade of Lifestyle of Virtues. This is where pupils have completed rehabilitation for the most part, and are ready to enter the workforce, and care doesn't end there. Phone-mentoring will support pupils throughout their lives.
This plan needs zoning laws to change so trailer parks are allowed to be plentiful, near all cities. As a result, this economic solution, the Tiny-home Employment Program, will be possible.
