Our Objectives

MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT

We intend to substantially reduce the homeless population in California. Specifically, this entails the removal and restoration to society of tens of thousands of involuntarily homeless from the gross population of 180,000 now substantially unsheltered. Aside from the many obvious benefits of reversing homelessness for all citizens, resolving this problem will also prevent the needless loss of 2,000 lives now suffered annually by this community.

UTILIZING A more FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH

Our approach, while comprehensive, is also fundamental. Each of the key drivers of homelessness require practical solutions; we have endeavored to marry current-day research with data collected over twenty years and applied that knowledge to solving the specific problems that require redress in order to achieve lasting results, and a meaningful reduction in homeless populations.

BUILDING A BETTER SYSTEM

We commit to adherence to financial disciplines; of particular importance amidst an environment of significant waste on the part of local governments. Key metrics include managing our cost per homeless client, and overall capital expensed and invested through asset purchases, to achieve our restoration goals. In recent years, both California and National costs per homeless person have averaged $36,781, per year. Our costs per client are projected to be $17,528, limited to two years per client, after which the client is transitioned to permanent housing and employment, and will thus no longer require financial support from us.

Our Analysis

Homelessness is a protracted, complex, and multilayered problem, caused by many factors and with symptoms not easily solved. Historical data puts the preceding statement in stark relief.

Ours (Joshua’s) is a humanitarian effort, not a political one, and our analysis is not intended to assail political parties. Any fair and reasonable analysis will describe the many attempts by city, county, and state governments to address the homelessness epidemic, all of which, in the aggregate, as having substantially failed.

We believe this is due in large part to a persistent focus on housing, to the general exclusion of the many factors that cause homelessness; any one-dimensional approach is not likely to succeed. Housing is the ultimate desired outcome, but there are many issues needing to be addressed before housing can be sustained by this populace.
