Others are using electrolysis to precipitate heavy metals and organics from water. investigate possibilities for this. Using common table salt and electricity, a chorine gas is created that acts as a water purifier when electricity is passed through the water. The trick is to monitor the process and vary the voltage and salt levels to create the right levels of gas. The electrolysis also can remove other metals from the water as well. Some claim it can also remove VOC and other organic chemicals as well. . . Zero Mass in Scottsdale uses a condensation method with solar energy to collect from 4 to 10 Liters of water for each panel stem.

Cooking? Could solar cooking powered by stored thermal energy replace traditional electric or gas fired radiant and convection cooking? Souse Vie water cooking could be accomplished by solar-thermal storage as well. Lighting with LED has decreased power demands, but what other technologies exist that can create power with even lower environmental and energy requirements?


.In North America, the average household spends 19 up to 50 percent of their monthly budget on housing and shelter costs that covers the direct cost of the shelter, utilities, maintenance, and improvements.
.Our goal is to increase the livability of the space at a comparable or lower ongoing cost and significantly less initial cost when the total cost of habitation as a lifestyle is considered.

-. One from Australia firm Cogen microsystems has a low temp solar system that uses a natural gas supplement system for non-solar operation. This could be supported by a battery pack. Their solar claims up to 1kw peak generation per module. over a nominal 5 hrs of generation that might store 5kw of energy, and sells for about $10k AU for heat and power. But a battery and power management system will be needed.
-. Most of the micro-CHP systems do not integrate water purification. Most do include water heating. Heated water for anaerobic purification helps to speed the process. Some of the systems work at temperatures that create condensing steam. Steam paired with filtration and UV treatment could create pure water. Since we are probably only creating a demand of 100 gallons per day/person this might work. That would mean ample potable storage for two people would be around 200 gallons. Incidentally, about 200 gallons is the storage needs for residential fire sprinklers too.
Note: This potable storage requirement would not mean this is the replenishment rate since most of this will be recaptured and purified and reused. Additionally, there would be hot water storage as well, up to as much as 30 or 40 gallons, giving a total available potable water supply of about 240 gallons or more.

As part of convenience location of the developments should maximize access to good public transportation. Think of Transportation Oriented Design (TOD) principles - walkability, access to transport (more than one mode), access to neighborhood services adjacent to transportation and living. Living/working spaces possible and encourages. Mixed-Use zoning would be a plus.
Safety is built in the design for personal security, interior safety from falls and trips.
Efficiency in the use of all the space in three dimensions
Good design that is pleasing to live in.

Sell residential shelter and occupancy as a service
(SPaaC) [Shelter Provided as a serviCe]
The company has recently begun to test its first residency offer. Its first coliving development, located in New York City, currently accommodates 80 WeWork members in 45 apartment units, with plans to house over 600 people across 20 floors. All tenants have access to community events by way of a mobile app, through which they can share cleaning services, laundry and utilities. Provisionally named WeLive, their residential offering is expected to account for 21% of the company’s revenue by 2018.
. Micro-rental, on which WeLive’s concept is based, is the hottest trend in residential real estate. The concept is simple: a company rents a large multi-room unit, creates communal spaces and sublets individual bedrooms out to people on a short-term basis. Co-living companies don’t own the property themselves but instead act as property managers.
. Abandoning long-term leases for month-to-month arrangements with micro-rentals appeals to millennials who are much more comfortable with temporary accommodation solutions than are older generations. Short-term contracts are best suited for young graduates and professionals who frequently change location or can’t afford to buy their own homes. As an increasing number of 25 to 34-year-olds are living with roommates and staying single for longer than previous generations, mobility becomes the deciding factor in choosing suitable housing arrangements.
. This idea could be leveraged for corporate hires to provide a compensation benefit in any city to have housing, connectivity and living benefits bundled to the employee could work in a remote location. The employer gets the benefit of the employee skills, and possibly a lower housing cost if they are located in a high cost market like SF or NYC.

Early in life, if parents give students a place to live and then donate this equity to them after graduation it gives them a way to get started with an equity position earlier in life. This also provides parents a way to pay no more than they would for regular housing and living expenses while giving their child a better living situation than in a dorm that prepares them for home ownership earlier.
. While students may be the primary market there could also be a benefit to having shelter solutions for staff as well, especially where schools are short of staff for housing maintenance and operations.

Employer matching for SPaaC
housing equity savings plan
Helping to build equity reduces anxiety and fear more than increasing salary levels. Where increased compensation goes to meet a specific goal, the result is an employee should be retained longer due to fear of loosing a benefit and the peace of mind that a burden is being taken away at a fixed rate.


SPaaC is equity is owned by the employee and is transferable to other locations. Flexibility and ease of use greater than with traditional RE.
Creating a transferable equity program helps the employee when it is time for them to move on. While it may seem to create more mobility for the employee, it also creates a sense of comfort to them as well and may create more loyalty to the company that provides it. Like training for a job often increases job satisfaction and loyalty, helping employees build equity and gain access to better housing should build higher satisfaction and loyalty.

Medical educations are very expensive, some of the most expensive education programs offered. MD's graduate with a debt of over $200k adding both undergraduate and graduate costs. Nurses with 4 year degrees rack up an average of over $30k. Relatively, these are difficult sums to retire when trying to start a career and family. This is one of the main reasons younger adults are putting off purchasing a home.

Linked In showed Texas markets of Houston, Austin and Dallas as having shortages of various healthcare professionals ranging from technicians, primary care and management. Phoenix was shown to have shortages in Life Sciences professions and Special Needs medical professions.

Most of Tucson's medical providers center around the old University Health Center, St. Joseph's and Tucson Medical Center. The one independent at Northwest Medical is highly rated.

Tempe; Central and North Phoenix; Glendale, Mesa and Paradise Valley have major health employers Even Anthem and far north Scottsdale for HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic health centers.
Well over 65,000 employees are hired by the major health providers. This means there is a serious housing demand from this sector alone.

Houston is home to MD Anderson, one of the leading health science hospitals in the US. It is seen as one of the premier cities for healthcare in the US.

IF we can develop a good relationship with a healthcare provider organization that understands geriatric care outside of the clinic and hospital setting that leverages the Smart Home aspects of our model, we would provide a significant benefit to families wanting to allow their parents the ability to stay out of a residential group facility and on their own longer with the aid of community support and remote monitoring. They could use the SPaaC equity they purchased with their parent's equity or from their own resources for themselves or for their children. SPaaC equity is a transferable intangible asset.

Arizona is famous for retirement communities. All across the state retirees are a significant part of the population. In many communities there is a significant portion of the population who come to the warm climate of Arizona. Sun City was built on retirement as an age-restricted community when it was created. Other cities have significant retirement communities like Benson, Casa Grande, Bisbee and Apache Junction.
We may look to smaller communities that have more temperate climates than Phoenix, Yuma or Casa Grande where property values are less, community services are adequate and social connection is high.

For many people not familiar with AZ Phoenix is often the only city they associate with the state. There are several developments that are well known for their age restricted occupancy requirements

Phoenix is already known as a major population center and we may already have installations for education and healthcare, so retirement solutions would make sense

Tucson is the second largest retirement center in Arizona. The climate is more temperate than Phoenix and the lifestyle is more traditional and slower than Phoenix while offering all the civic services of a major population center.

Benson is a typical small town in rural Arizona. It is known as a center for retirement. Land values are modest and cost of living is moderate. Major civic support is from Tucson.

Currently, SV is the largest city in SE Arizona at 50,000 with the largest military installation in Fort Huchucha. Cochise College is one of the larger community college systems in the rural counties of AZ. SV enjoys a much cooler climate and easy access to Mexico. Major civic services are from Tucson. A new regional health center was completed in 2016. Land prices are some of the highest in Cochise County, but still moderate overall.

Offering community organizations 95% to 100% financing for their equity participation will almost certainly need to be offered for any small city in Arizona to think about participating. The program will have to be considered as part of the compensation package otherwise it will probably not work in their budgets that are already constrained. Many small towns have a hard time keeping police, teachers and medical technicians due to lower pay and sub-par housing alternatives. if they stay it is because they like the small town, have family close by or choose to stay in a smaller job market.

The REIT as a specific investment vehicle is expensive to set up and takes time to launch. A private syndication might be more appropriate to start with and use the REIT after the company gets established.
. Private syndication would be limited to "Qualified Investors" so it would only benefit the capital formation partners. SPaaC subscribers would not be qualified investors, but simply users with no equity.
. Later rounds could create a REIT that would allow anyone to purchase shares since it would probably be a publically traded equity that would allow SPaaC subscribers to invest in the RE to offset their cost.
. One other alternative is to use a Regulated Crowdfunding Portal that could raise up to $1m in small, public investor funds. This might be another way to more quickly get an investment vehicle ready for SPaaC subscribers. This method limits their investment to no more than $2,000 per year when income is under $100,000, which will be most employees.
. Another option would be for a company to purchase the "Qualified" shares and give them as part of a compensation plan. Companies would not be limited on the amount they can purchase and then distribute to the employee. This distribution would be a taxable benefit to the employee, but does create an equity that is owned by the employee and used at their discretion later.

Housing
Model
The workforce housing model we are proposing creates clean, efficient and safe housing in markets where housing is constrained due to deliverability, access or cost. Employers help underwrite the cost of the units through a loan from private money lenders at a moderate rate. The employers are then entitled to receive a portion of the profit from SPaaC, the housing provider. This is a layered option that builds in the financing and service delivery components as part of the total solution.
.
Independent investors receive a higher rate of return on their investment from SPaaC since they have not borrowed money for the investment unit in SPaaC.
. Occupants have an option to participate in one of several private savings plans that are determined to be Non-Qualifying tax deduction plans or Income deferral plans for the purpose of purchasing equity shares in the SPaaC provider company and receiving a dividend for their investment. Non-qualifying income deduction plans have the greatest flexibility for use and since income taxes are already paid, they may be matched by the employer at some rate, but all monies deducted for the employee are theirs to use after a stipulated waiting period or paid out at severance with no additional tax owed. If there is an employer match, often there is a vesting period for those monies from two to [five] years. Employers may deduct those additional funds as employment compensation costs per IRS rules.
. Deferred Income plans have income paid in a subsequent period, based on the plan design. Often these are paid out from two to [five] years after employment starts and the deduction amount is declared as part of the employment agreement and may be adjusted annually by the consent of the parties. Tax implications are that the tax becomes payable in the year the deferral is paid to the employee.

A lending company created to provide capital loans to Sponsoring Employer organizations for Workforce Housing programs. This company operates as a private money lender not as a publicly regulated lender. Capital contributors can be individuals, companies, or governments. The borrowers are an exclusive class of participating employers in a Workforce Housing Program offered by SPaaC.
.
Lending to different employers may have different credit and underwriting terms. Community Services Housing for rural communities may need the most aggressive terms, providing 95% to 100% financing.

Employer
An organization or entity that wants to provide housing to their employees at a reasonable cost in otherwise constrained housing or employment markets. Workforce housing meets shelter needs of employees and makes it possible for employers to recruit the talent needed.
Sponsoring Employers may be Private or Public entities in the form of private holdings or public agencies or government at the city, county or state levels.
+- Employers may borrow from WF Capital at simple interest rates for Investment Units. The equity participation for the employer may vary depending on their credit strength and community value.
+- We may look for Donor support for Non-profit community service organizations such as Fire-Fighters and Health Technicians or School Teachers to make it possible for the employers to participate.

SPaaC provides housing as a service to employers and private individuals. These services may include, but are not limited to: shelter, utilities, transportation, communications, entertainment, and healthcare network access.
+ Makes equity interest shares available to investors and occupants.
+ Investors may be employers or individuals or investment organizations.
+ LLC shares offered at $75,000 units to employers, which may be borrowed from WF Capital.
+- SPaaC may redeem any shares from investors or occupant investors at the market value of shares as published in the most recent shareholders report.
+- Occupant Investors may elect to defer receipt of distributions to accumulate them toward further capital investment in accepted investment units. SPaaC will hold that deferred distribution in an account paid out for the benefit of the investor until they elect to receive the funds or return them as additional capital stock investment. Later distribution will not create additional tax liability since the tax was paid in the period when it was earned/paid. (The Investor Occupant will incur tax liability for the distribution in the period when earned. We should give them the option to receive the tax amount in cash funds as a reduction in the escrowed distribution.)
+- The LLC will have the option to increase the capital basis and receive additional partner units based on the recommendation of the General Partner. In general, the LLC will be formed to create a capital basis of $25m in potential unit shares.
+- Investor Units are of several classes: 1) Independent Investors, 2) Occupant Investors, and 3) Employer Investors. Returns are allocated first to 1) Independent Investors, then 2) Occupant Investors and lastly to 3) Employer Investors. Each class will have a published proportional rate of distribution of profits. 1) Independent and 2) Occupant investors each receive 35% of the profits as a class and 3) Employer Investors receive 30% of the profits as a class.

Individual Investors participate as equity partners to the extent of their investment percentage

Receive income distributions equal to 35% of the total profit as a class of investors.
+ They may receive this distribution as a credit offset to their subscribed services or into a designated account of their choice. Taxes will be withheld based on the Occupant's tax withholding election.
+ Occupant Investors may transfer their occupancy interests from one SPaaC location to another under the same subscription plan. Their equity distribution is based on the entire aggregation of property, not a single location.

Are required to invest $75,000 for every employee housing unit provided under their Workforce Housing Program.
Employers may receive a return of capital when an Employee Occupant purchases Capital Units.
+ Employer Sponsors may elect to have a Workforce Housing unit placed in any location made available by SPaaC. If they have multiple locations, SPaaC may provide services at one or all of the locations based on the mutual consent of the Employer and SPaaC.

Occupants that receive shelter services and have no personal offsetting profit distributions. They may have some of their subscription charges paid by their employer as part of their compensation.
+ They may elect to participate in an Employer Sponsored Saving's plan that allows them to save funds toward the purchase of equity shares in SPaaC.
+ Occupant may transfer their occupancy interests from one SPaaC location to another under the same subscription plan regardless of their employer. This may result in a change in payments by the subscriber if their space is subsidized by their employer at one job and not at another.


While cryptocurrency isn't banned in the US issuing coins is considered a security which is the same as issuing stock. There isn't any real advantage to issue a coin now in the US. We might offer stockholders the option to receive SPaaC coins in the future when they may be offered as an alternative to stock.



Arizona has been awarded a number of Tax Incentive Economic Development Zones. These zones are mostly rural, economically disadvantaged locations that have some possibility of recovery if there some projects that local communities start and run to improve their areas. Cochise County has four of these census blocks:
- Benson: The downtown and immediate outlying area from the outer i-10 exits, south of the I-10 to Janella Road
- East Sierra Vista: North and South of Charleston Road East to the river.
- Bisbee: Including all of Old Bisbee, Warren and Saginaw then East toward Douglas along SR-80
- Douglas (not including downtown): Along SR 80 East, North and West of Downtown including Pirtleville, South to the U.S. Border. This includes the proposed site for the new Commercial Border Port and industrial park.
SPaaC could provide homes in at least three of the four areas and potentially locate manufacturing in either Benson of Douglas.
