Turn Empty Spaces into Places of Hope
A community-powered plan to convert underused properties into safe, supportive housing—with addiction recovery, mental health care, and workforce pathways built in.
Founder: Shelby Tyrone Clark Jr. · SC Digital Solutions & Consulting
What’s Inside the Plan
- 15-property acquisition pipeline (motel & multi-complex focus)
- Recovery, mental health & aftercare integration
- Workforce development & entrepreneurship tracks
- Diversified funding for sustainability (not just federal)
Why This Matters
Homelessness is solvable when housing comes with services. Our plan reduces street homelessness while cutting costly cycles across ERs, incarceration, and shelter overflow.

Funding & Sustainability
We built this to endure funding shifts. The model blends:
- Public–Private partnerships & mission‑driven investment
- State/County grants & CDFI financing
- Philanthropy & corporate workforce sponsorships
- Property operations revenue (vouchers + income-based rents)
Outcome: durable cashflow + diversified risk = staying funded.

We align providers to each site, creating a wraparound “hub” so residents move from crisis → stability → independence.
How It Works
- Acquire suitable motels/multi‑complex properties
- Rehab for safe, supportive living
- Activate Services (recovery, mental health, workforce)
- Track Outcomes & reinvest savings into expansion
