Veterans Initiative
From the street to stability
Intake that welcomes rather than processes — housing, healthcare navigation, job placement and community for veterans leaving homelessness, on day one.

Founder Sass Society is developing a 2,000-acre planned community where veterans move from the street to stability — and from stability to owning the home they live in, powered by its own clean-energy backbone.
Every gift is issued as a traceable digital Mastercard — see exactly where your dollar lands.

One city · three commitments
Stability for veterans, homes they own, and the power to keep it running.
Every part of the plan answers a single question — how does a veteran go from the street to a front door of their own, in a community built to last.
Affordable Housing
Homes a veteran can own
Three right-sized home plans — 300, 600 and 1,200 sq ft — built on a path to ownership, not just shelter. Stability becomes equity.
Tour the homes →Green & Energy
A self-powered city
Solar, wind, district heat reuse and water recycling on a shared backbone — anchored by a major energy user that helps fund the homes.
Explore the backbone →The Pathway
Four stages from intake to ownership.
No one stays stuck at “sheltered.” Every stage moves a veteran one step closer to a home that's theirs.
Stage 01
Intake
Arrival at the induction center — a warm bed, a case worker, and a plan the same day.
Stage 02
Stabilize
Healthcare, recovery, benefits and counseling. The basics handled so the future is possible.
Stage 03
Build
Job training and on-site work — from the home factory to the energy park — earning toward a home.
Stage 04
Own
The keys. A 300, 600 or 1,200 sq ft home, and a stake in the community that built it.
The Homes
Right-sized, dignified, built to be owned.
Three plans from the master plan — efficient footprints designed for solar roofs, low utility loads, and a real path to equity.
“A door that locks behind you is the beginning of every other thing.”
— Field principle
300 sq ft
The Starter
A complete, self-contained first home — the fastest move from intake bed to a door that locks behind you.

600 sq ft
The Homestead
One bedroom, full bath, living space and a patio — room to put down roots and host the people who matter.

1,200 sq ft
The Family
Two-plus bedrooms for veterans reuniting with family — the home where a household, not just a person, gets a fresh start.

Green & Energy Projects
A city designed around shared, sustainable power.
The Cal City energy backbone treats power, heat and water as one integrated system — so homes stay affordable to run and resilient when the grid isn't.
On-site solar PV
Rooftop and ground-mount solar sized to the city's load, cutting bills for every household it powers.
Wind generation
High-desert wind added to the mix where it's viable, for a more resilient, lower-carbon supply.
District heat & water reuse
Waste heat from large users is recaptured for hot water and process loads; water is reclaimed and reused.
Islandable microgrid
Storage and hybrid generation let the community run independently — power that holds when the grid drops.
Municipal utility model
A city-owned utility keeps energy revenue local — and recycles it back into housing and services.
Energy-park anchor
A 200 MW-class data center anchors demand — the revenue helps underwrite the homes veterans move into.
200 MW
The energy park isn't a side project — it's the engine. A large, steady energy buyer makes the whole backbone bankable, and a portion of that value flows straight back into building and powering veterans' homes.
