Oh, and I suggest you keep a detailed journal of everything you do, feel, and experience as you build Houses of Refuge. You are such an outstanding writer that - after you achieve success with this nonprofit - you could whip out a book or series of article out on how to do this well. I could easily see you on a speaking tour, and offering guidance to others.
Fifteen years ago I read a local article on how there were more than one hundred organizations in my city trying to ‘end homelessness’. Fifteen years later, and the problem is bigger than ever. I believe what’s been happening, in part, is that people have been conducting studies, holding meetings, having luncheons, giving speeches, etc. , all so that they could have impressive charitable activities to put on their corporate resumes. I’m sure that you don’t want to get mired in that hamster-wheel activity - you want to make a real difference, right? You are just the brilliant analytical genius to cut through the nonsense, figure out the productive pathways, and create real solutions. I believe you are amazing, Peter!
I have witnessed the same thing. That is part of the motivation for doing this--I want to break that cycle of "hamster-wheel activity".
My hope is to create simple, practical, reproducible solutions that do not require people with all sorts of arcane degrees and certifications. My goal is to create solutions that require only people with generous and compassionate hearts who want to step up and make a difference in their community.

I believe God will bless this (as you wittily say it) ‘bigly’.
That's the hope and the prayer! 😁
