Formidable Sarasota – A Win For Housing
For too many Americans, bad breaks, circumstances that are out of control, lack of support, or just bad timing have led to a path of no return. The Dream Fund’s mission is to provide a solution for mental health and alleviate poverty by helping ALL citizens achieve their fullest potential through utilizing and expanding our proven ecosystem to complete meaningful projects that transform lives for the betterment of a greater future. “It’s not by what we say, it’s by what we do, and we need everyone to get it done.” Transformation is the American story that we share.
Putting these words into action, the Dream Fund has initiated the project ‘Formidable Sarasota’ to fill one of Sarasota’s largest gaps; affordable, desirable, and amicable housing for seniors. Not only is the Dream Fund providing micro homes to seniors in need (age 55+), we are providing the opportunity for a lifestyle focused on health and sustainable living in a community that is being transformed for this cause. The Dream Fund is demonstrating with a community, team and ecosystem that anything is possible. With a vision and direction, no matter the age or history that has preceded, dreams can be revived to come true.
Not only are we providing seniors with formidable housing, we are helping them become part of a community, and attain the tools and skills necessary to contribute to the greater Sarasota community. What we provide our seniors in need: 1.) A dream home, that they can call home and build a sense of dignity, pride and self worth. 2.) A community, that can advocate and support each other. 3.) Life skills, opportunities to find work in the community in order to gain necessary skills grow into serving the greater Sarasota community. 4.) Healthcare and wellness. 5.) A family environment.
The Aloha community has over 200+ micro homes, fresh community garden space, walking trails, different clubs for residents and a place for the outside community to participate. The Dream Fund, together with our partners, are providing seniors (55+), many who are the fabric of our workforce, the ability to dream again by offering assistance to qualify for a new micro home. It is a necessary dream that no one should look away from. Investing in people is the most important asset our society has. Our seniors deserve to have affordable housing options focused on lifestyle over abundance, simplicity over complexity, and an opportunity to live with pride. Join in the dream and make a difference by helping other people’s dreams come true, one home at a time.
Currently, we have over 150 homes available through our partnership with Aloha, and can start filling Sarasota’s need for affordable housing NOW.
In order to prepare the homes for occupancy, an investment of between 100K-150K is required per home. The Dream Fund has partnerships to build, develop and deliver refurbished micro homes and change lives. We have tested this program over the past two years, and the feedback has been of amazement and starlight. The goal is to get our applicants approved, and if they do not qualify, come up with a plan to help qualify them in the foreseeable future. There are two ways that the Dream Fund works on providing homes to applicants;
- A Gift that keeps Giving: The home is gifted to the awardee and the Dream Fund holds title to ensure that the home remains an affordable housing option for seniors generations to come.
- Finance: Allowing applicants to pay back the investment put into the home, and re-investing that money into another tiny home.
