We are currently discussing fund-raising ideas for this historic, original approach to reducing homelessness among men that is caused by landlord discrimination. We are first in history to use a housing co-operative - team approach! No one wants to disappoint the team, and your team is the entire co-operative membership, striving to keep you free of the chaos of alcohol and drugs 24/7.
We need only $1million to get into our building - a very small amount for a concept this powerful. But we need views other than the Board's and of those men who have already passed our one-of-a-kind background check - WE NEED YOUR VIEWS.
Bring your kids, custodial dads! There is space for up to 9 minor children in our building. You always have kid care! You are all safe from vindictive ex's and social workers stealing your kids, in our co-operative. MEMBERS OWN AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE CO-OPERATIVE SO ARE AN EQUAL PART OF "THE LANDLORD". No lease and the cost of your monthly maintenance share is less than rent - "forever" so long as you stick to the contract everyone makes. What a deal!
We look forward to SEE YOU THERE!
