Program
Proposed first residence
Small proposed pilot first
Before a full residence, Phoenix may explore a short pilot of up to four rooms under a written lodging block. That pilot is not open or funded. See the Roadmap and pilot outline (PDF).
Intended population
The program is being designed for adults who can benefit from structured transitional housing and peer support. Final admission criteria will be adopted with legal review for the selected site. People who need detox or locked clinical care should be referred to appropriate providers.
Proposed services
- Shared residence with private or approved shared rooms
- Meals and agreed utilities included in the proposed resident contribution
- Non-clinical peer support and practical life-skills coaching
- Connections to employment, benefits navigation help, and outside community services
- Credit-building education and referrals (not credit-repair services)
- Optional paid work beyond chores, under written program rules
Planning figures
- Later residence planning ceiling: up to 12 residents. The selected property and the authorities control capacity.
- Location interest: rural northwest North Carolina. Purchase or lease is under consideration. No property is selected.
Budget status
The $400 monthly figure is a proposed resident contribution for housing, meals, and agreed utilities when Phoenix pays for the room. It is not yet supported by a validated site-specific budget.
Actual operating cost and the outside funding gap cannot be confirmed until a property and an operating plan are selected.
Proposed future initiative (not active)
A separately funded pathway to a repaired home or vehicle at documented cost plus 10% may be developed later. It would require its own funding, eligibility criteria, written terms, and professional review. Housing itself does not promise an asset, financing, price, or delivery date.
