YAS!! I can not be your Kirk, obviously i have other plans.. but i have done research in this realm as a musician... Its a HUGE pain in the ass to form articles of incorporation without a business plan and actual results. So I think we should really start small.

The "crash pad" idea is less about transitional housing and more about people visiting different places... like steem airbnb...

if that goes off, then a non-profit arm could work.

As a person who has 3+ failed businesses under my belt, it's really important to have work experience and a for profit business to start funding..

ANother idea is to connect with local services that already exist.

Start volunteering if you haven't already, but know that a real job most likely wont come out of it.. keep time for yourself and your paid work.. do not burn yourself out into the street. It's not fun. I promise.

anyway those are my thoughts.. you have connections in MSP so id start asking people if you can share this brainstorm post with them.

Ultimately its a fantastic idea and wherever you go with it.. i support you...
