The vision of Next Wave Housing is to support the needed resources to build a large housing project to allow people with disabilities who need extra care and supervision, and who cannot live alone, to live within a greater community with their families, friends, and caregivers.

In doing this, we want to present our initial proposals to the community, and hopefully these will be modified by the community to accommodate everybody.

This unique model will allow for 6 Adult family homes (depending on the funding) in the center with about 150 units available from, studios to 4 bedroom main apartments. The Adult Family Homes shall represent 25% of the total population with the other units reserved for their family, friends and caregivers. Ideally we envision a large village of about 175 units .

Owner-occupied means to ensure that everybody owns their own unit, so they live out the rest of their lives in this community. Allowing everybody to own a piece of the complex will make a permanent contract to stay there.

24/7 care or supervision -Care and supervision are presently being provided by DSHS for these individuals at homes or AFH, and we hope that it will continue. The complex will have to be built with the idea that it will need to be approved by the state for care.

Affordable for all-One of the main tenets of this project is to make it affordable for the people who live in the homes. Most, if not all, of these individuals only receive social security benefits. There are a few ways that we can do this. One is that the other units would be available on a sliding scale regarding income. All units should be owned by the residents, even the ones in the "Homes". There should be work available for all to work if possible. There should be areas where we can set up small industries to provide income, such as hydroponics, crafting, and making things to sell. Having stores on the outside of the village would also generate income and work opportunities. We have to be creative as to how to make money to provide for everybody long-term. The people with disabilities who live in the Homes will most likely be classified as Extremely Low Income Limits for WA state, which comes out to $28,000. My guess is most are living off of SS with little work they can get. This is why we need to have many options to have work opportunities in the community. The rest of the residents will be on a sliding scale depending on how much they make. We need people to pay as much as reasonably possible to support the community and make it viable.

The village needs to be on a large lot of at least 3-10 acres, ideally 4 acres. Only a few stories high with lots of open areas. A large kitchen and restaurant should be present, so residents can get food 24 hours a day. This could also provide for work opportunities. The maintenance of the building should first go to the residents.

There are numerous ways to lower costs. This endeavor will be a cooperative living situation, meaning all the residents will have to look after each other. One thing we need to do for each other is to come up with ideas together. It should be a community built from the ground up, with the community owning, controlling, and managing it. Sounds like a lot of work, but the goal is to provide for our loved ones for the rest of their lives.

Legacy Project-This can be a unique and novel project with the right funding to improve the lives of our disabled loved ones. It can be used as a model for further villages that will have your name as recognition for helping the disabled community.
