FINAL CAD DRAWING BEFORE BLUE PRINTS
Veteran's Helping Hands Project is setting up a Tiny House manufacturing facility located in Buffalo Gap, South Dakota for our homeless veterans. The plan is to hire veterans from the VA's Drug and Alcohol Rehab Program to build the homes under journeyman supervision in order to get the participating veterans new job skills to be used in life. We feel that this will allow the veterans to assimilate back into society with new found reasons for living. The goal is to give the veterans up to (3) new job skills, ie. Electrical, plumbing, welding, and construction industry skills, and we have already talked to Black Hills Homebuilders Association and the contractors in the area are waiting to hire these vets as soon as they have completed their rehab treatment program.
Our goal is to head off the veteran contemplating suicide before he gets to "the edge" & give them a reason to not follow through.
We haven't heard of another non-profit taking this route to help with the homeless problem, so If you are looking for a different way to help the vet and say "thank you for your service" this might be the way to help by donating towards building one of these homes
We will be posting monthly how many veterans we have helped get into housing.
The above will give you an idea of one of the models we have designed. This is a roomy 14' X 32' one bedroom model. Most Tiny homes for the vets are sized around 240 sq. ft. or 280 sq. ft. while our models start at 448 sq. ft., almost twice the size.
Some of the ideas to help are: Help build the walls to include the wrap and siding = $1,090.00
Help with the prefab rafters = $474.10
Doors and windows = $723.00
Vinyl flooring = $428.00
Roofing to include OSB, and shingles = $409.10
Interior wallboard (Hacienda) = $713.00
ceiling is 1X8X14' car siding = $376.00
Bathroom to include shower, sink, etc. = $710.00
Kitchen appliances, microwave, refrigerator, range = $689.00
Kitchen cabinets to include sink = $950.00
Whirlpool stackable washer/dryer = $2,000.00
If you can help with any one if these, we will let you know who is being placed in the house you helped with, along with pictures if the vet is willing.
This page will stay in an active mode of flux since, as things move on, things change and come more into focus allowing us to see the mission with more clarity.
We have settled on a name for the Tiny home project: Operation VSAC which stands for Veterans Service & Assistance Coalition.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO FUND THIS BIG PROJECT! ALL OF THE PROFITS WILL GO BACK INTO THE NON-PROFIT TO BUILD MORE HOMES FOR THE VETS.
This project will be the largest veteran's rehab and assistance program in the United States when it is rolled out. Our objective is to build work ethic, and reliability into the vet here in this world so the vet can move on with life.
