Homelessness Initiative

According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in 2022, the United States had approximately 582,462 people who were homeless. Data collected for California showed 171,521 people homeless, and in Los Angeles alone, there were 65,111 homeless people on a given night.

The John Eric Swing Foundation is taking a sustainable approach to ending homelessness in California. The locations of the projects are spread across Del Norte, Alpine, and Imperial Counties. The total land available for the initiative is approximately 200 acres of land.

On 80 acres of land, modular homes will be provided to house two people per home. The homes will be equipped with air conditioning, heat, and bathrooms. Medical facilities, rehabilitation facilities, training facilities, and a cafeteria will be on-site to serve the community. There will be an average of 1,500 modular homes that will accommodate approximately 3,000 people.

On 50 acres of land, fish farms (Tilapia) will be established to generate a self-sustaining business enterprise. The people that reside in the communities will run the facilities. There will be approximately 6,000 jobs created by the fish farms. Operations will be scaled to a level that produces approximately twenty million pounds of Tilapia annually.

We anticipate the fish farms will produce enough fish to feed millions of people, create jobs and businesses, and continue to generate opportunities and self-sustaining revenue. 

We have started collaboration on this initiative with local city, county, state, and national governments, as well as private industries that produce modular and fabricated homes, experts in land acquisition, architectural and engineering firms, manufacturers of fiberglass tanks, and other NGOs.
