I want options for homeless people so I just thought I should brainstorm a few ideas to make being homeless slightly more bearable. Please let me know what I need to switch up to have a more successful ”business strategy”.

I've been homeless before and it fucking sucks, especially when it's -20 Celsius outside and you need to take a bus just to stay barely warm. it's also impossible to get a job while you're homeless as you won't have an address and no one wants to hire someone that doesn't have a housing situation on lock. This is brainstorming on how to promote lending vacant homes to homeless people to make for a more productive overall society and people overall happier. This is a major issue in North America especially and if it was solved then it would be an overall win/win for all involved as corps and small businesses get cheaper labour while homeless people get to live in a warm house. There are 17 million empty homes while there are 0.5 million homeless people (2018 figures). How do we make it affordable to lend housing units to…

There are 17 million empty homes while there are 0.5 million homeless people (2018 figures).

How do we make it affordable to lend housing units to homeless people?

  1. Take responsibility for damages (insurance)
  2. Make homeless people pay rent for housing privileges (work to be sheltered)
    1. Have the company (employing the housing recipient) pay for their housing at a discounted price such that the employee is still profitable to the company.
  3. Community service is required for the housing recipients.
  4. 3 people per room to limit the number of houses used.
  5. Advert money?
  6. Pay what you can model?

How do we make it easy for homeless people to find help?

  1. Posters around town
  2. Gov’t promotion (need a financial incentive for this)
    1. The financial incentive could be the homeless people contributing to the working class
  3. Corpo promotion (need a financial incentive)
    1. The financial incentive could include cheap work as housing is provided by the corp technically

Where to promote?

  1. Northern USA/Canada because it gets cold up there and is more unpleasant to be homeless
  2. China, as there are many homes and the ideology supports this.
  3. Nigeria as there are many empty homes and it’s extremely hot outside. In addition, economic stimulation would be encouraged by the gov’t.

How to convince the housed public to support?

  1. Play down how good the housing is
  2. Appeal to their empathy (unreliable)
  3. Make the housing recipients share the housing units
  4. Explain how it will reduce crime as the people are less desperate

How to differentiate from private prisons? (private prisons are basically the same thing, low pay and housing.)

  1. It’s not slavery as the recipients get to see their families
  2. More productive workers.
  3. Workers capable of doing more types of labour (Gov’t jobs, medical, etc..)
  4. It doesn’t make the corps as much money so this point is impossible to argue (at least impossible in California as they charge $142 daily for every day incarcerated)
