MID-RISE HOUSING allows for 30% or less of household income to experience home ownership. This helps to allow families and individuals to become financially secure.
4-Plex housing allows for back yards, people can enjoy the outdoors, have gardens or pet space. It also allows for greater mental health rehabilitation.
We have found through exhaustive research that there are ways to assist that have not been thought of previous. One thing we discovered is that there is a maximum loan allowance achieved through FHA, by building 4-PLEX housing units. We build with Modular homes.
Our model uses the advantages of modular construction methods to save on cost and erection expense. Five stories can be achieved with a wood frame, six or more stores with metal frame. We do not use outside real estate services, everything is inhouse to save on expense, thus lowering the cost of our homes.
We provide affordable housing with down payment and closing cost assistance, we provide ground level (podium level) medical and mental health services to the building and area residents. We provide financial and credit counseling when needed. This population is easier to assist because the main issue is affordable housing and transportation. Both are addressed within our program guidelines. Plus, we assist further by providing onsite medical care.
Josh Leopold, a researcher at the Urban Institute, estimated that about 25 percent of the homeless population is employed, while Megan Hustings, director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, told Axios that between 40 and 60 percent of the homeless population floats in and out of full-time and part-time work.
It can be hard not to ask this question when we come across people sitting on sidewalks and under highways in the middle of the day. Along with the false stereotype that homeless people are lazy, this stereotype that homeless people should just get a job to solve their homelessness is incorrect.
Having no permanent address is pretty much what defines homelessness. Most jobs require a permanent address from those they consider hiring, not having one makes it more difficult to find a job. Without stability and rest, it is hard to focus and do a good job. Housing is expensive a minimum wage job is not enough to pay for housing.
When you are offered a job, the employer needs a way to contact you. Not having a cell phone and or an email, for example, is a barrier. The other issue, not having reliable transportation or not having transportation at all. Thankfully Denver-Metro has the RTD system, but even that has its challenges. If you miss your bus, for example, people can often have to wait another 45 minutes for the next one. Often causing workers to be terminated.
While there are places for people experiencing homelessness to take a shower, wash their clothes, or get nicer clothing for an interview, it is not the easiest to find.
Over 20,000 people in the Colorado experiencing homeless, there is always a wait to get a shower, wash your clothes or find new ones.
Showers are also not something many can take every day, sometimes not for several days.
Many jobs won’t consider hiring someone when there are significant gaps in their employment history or even when they are not currently employed.
Employment gaps can happen for many reasons, Yet, for those who have resources like a permanent address, a phone and transportation, finding a job may happen a little faster than for someone who is homeless.
