Hi my name is Jordan Blakemore. I am 16 years of age, and I am starting on producing a free residential building for inner city families, who are unable to provide for their kids, but yet earn a trade and obtain a job; however this differs from job corps, because i am providing for families and not a certain age group. Please give me some ideas or a base inwhich I should start. I want you to be brutaly honest, shoot it down, is it something that i can get off the ground. If you have an links or information please give them to me. I am thankful for your time.

Jordan,
Study something that relates to your dreams on the side and get the most you can out of school in the way of math and science education!
Free housing is for the handicapped not the folks that can work. Their are many government housing projects but they are not free. It is shame that many are run down because of destructive residents and poor funding by the government. It is also a shame that some folks think it good enough to live in these places and never strive to move up.

If you are going to persuse a project like this (which is impressive) you'll need to raise funds. To raise funds you'll need to have a license (maybe a few). You need to look up the criteria for a 501(c)3 license from the federal government. This will give you the ability to solicit for donations. It all starts with having the money to do it. If you can get a 501(c)3 let me know and I'll be happy to help you raise funds (that'd what I do for a living).

I disagree. I think that if this project were successful, it would be great. I ESPECIALLY like the fact that it would be for those who work. Finally, an incentive for people to actually GO to work rather than avoid it!

You better be extremely rich, or know extremely wealthy people to be able to fund this. It takes A LOT of money to get this off the ground and sustain it.
