Progress & accountability

A finished draft is not the same as an open program. This page separates what is written, what is underway, and what is still required.

Prepared

  • Operating policies and resident-agreement templates, pending board adoption and attorney review
  • Opening-milestone summaries and planning workbooks
  • Public website, planning overview, roadmap, and pilot outline
  • A preliminary program structure

In progress

  • Independent board and oversight recruitment. Daniel Brown is the responsible party and sole director. Additional directors have not been appointed.
  • Property research in northwest North Carolina. No property has been selected.
  • Funding conversations. No gift, grant, or campaign total is presented as committed.
  • Professional review of the drafts. Review and adoption are still pending.

Still required before residents

  • Formation records confirmed against the primary documents, and valid board adoption of policies
  • A selected property, with underwriting and zoning, occupancy, and fire readiness
  • A validated site-specific budget and committed funding for the whole period, plus a transition reserve
  • Insurance bound before occupancy
  • A staffing and coverage plan, and workers’ compensation when anyone is paid
  • Focused legal and financial review for the actual site and activities
  • The federal tax-exemption process. Status has not been determined.
An EIN is not federal tax exemption. Draft forms are not an open program.
