The perpetual impact engine

Productive Property. Purposeful Income.

A repeatable real estate model connects either donated funds or investor capital with housing capacity and recurring resources for family stability.

SIX STEPS. LASTING POTENTIAL.

How the model works

01

Acquire undervalued real estate

Identify Chicago three-flat properties that we can convert into transitional housing.

02

Create purpose-built housing

Convert three two-bedroom apartments into 12 transitional housing places, with 6 bathrooms.

03

Partner with established nonprofits

Lease the entire property to a nonprofit operator, who takes care of the day to day management.

04

Turn recurring income into lasting impact

Service investor returns, cover business costs and allocate the balance to food assistance and SNAP support.

05

Distribute income to Food Banks

Income is distributed to official Food Banks only.

06

Build SNAP app

Retain a small proportion to build the SNAP guidance app.

The Chicago opportunity

Three apartments. Twelve housing places.

Chicago combines a supply of three-flat buildings, relatively accessible acquisition costs in selected neighborhoods and established transitional housing operators.

3 × 2 × 2

A purpose-built configuration

Three legal dwelling units, two bedrooms per unit and two residents per bedroom create a target of 12 beds. Additional bathrooms and suitable renovations are included where required.

Property-specific zoning, occupancy, licensing and building-code requirements must be independently verified before operation.

Triple-Net lease

Monthly nonprofit program 

The model assumes 12 beds, 6 bathrooms and 12 tenants.

The preferred triple-net (NNN) lease assigns utilities, minor maintenance, internal damage and day-to-day resident issues to the nonprofit, subject to agreed terms.
