$50,000 baseline
The repository cites an approximate municipal annual cost per chronically unsheltered individual, while requiring jurisdiction-specific independent verification before use in fundraising or activation materials.
10 · Capital architecture
Zero-trust capital governance for a physical asset.
The capital architecture treats the Singular Prototype as a high-risk test: capital efficiency is the engine, but systemic dignity remains the destination.
The ghost asset problem
Open-source bookkeeping meets physical telemetry.
The repository's capital model argues that a spreadsheet entry is not proof that a stabilization unit exists or functions. It proposes remote verification of water flow, thermal load, air filtration performance, door-lock cycles, and other minimum physical signals without requiring optical access to residents' identities.
Telemetry is also described as a capital-defense mechanism: structural vibration, water pressure, and climate-pressurization anomalies can signal kinetic damage before a room is destroyed.
Design boundary: The physical housing creates biological efficiency. The sensors defend the asset and authenticate the selected funding path; they are not presented as the cause of Housing First outcomes.
Capital arbitrage
Use the fully loaded figure, not operating cost alone.
$18,000 operating cost
An operating-only figure that excludes amortized capital debt and therefore must not be compared directly with the fully loaded status-quo baseline.
$24,000–$29,000 loaded cost
Including plausible financing terms, the repository frames a 42–52% arbitrage bound. The precise figure remains subject to independent financial review.
Provisionality: The capital documents state that financing terms, precise savings, published baseline sources, and CalAIM revenue offsets are not final until independent review is complete.
Ownership architecture
Concrete can be centralized; occupancy rights are localized.
A commercial entity retains ownership of the base superstructure for capital efficiency. Residential ALMUs are severed through 99-year irrevocable master leases held by localized community land trusts. The Hostile Governance Trust is designed to keep the capital provider from controlling the right of eviction.
The funding fork
Billing telemetry is a path, not the definition of housing.
A resident who declines billing-linked monitoring is housed through a Philanthropic Set-Aside. The updated architecture describes this as a change in funding mechanism rather than a loss of housing, while acknowledging that the funding path carries a defined privacy exchange.
