Community Development:

**************************

There are many reasons why communities fail, there is a lack of jobs, housing, eco friendly environments, physical resources, nutrition, unity, leadership, knowledge and understanding. Without any of these components we are headed for disaster. The irony of it all is that we do it to ourselves and blame each other. Gangs are continuously recruiting young boys and girls at the schools and through association. Many of these young people are just hanging out with nothing productive to do and end up getting into unwanted troubles with each other, rivals, police and family. The lack of jobs is a major issue because there aren’t any jobs in the communities. However there’s so much work to be done in the community, unfortunately it doesn’t pay. The leaders our children look up to in the community are nowhere to be found or they are corrupt only in office for political gain but yet we call on theses individuals for help when there’s a crisis. Without knowledge and understanding how can we grow as a people if we don’t know and no one is leading us? Where do we start to bond all of these components together to make this world a better place? The only physical resource place in the community is the local library and that’s even turned into a collection agency. Our communities are only getting worst it is our responsibility to make the change. We as a people must take strides into our own hands and less dependent on company’s or elected official’s to make these provisions for us. We need to open our eyes and make way for the next generation coming up behind us so they can carry our legacy and pass it on the next generation behind them.

 

We also need to make an intergenerational atmosphere in the community by creating productive activities for all ages and groups of people. We must make this effort to connect the generations and bridge the gap between them. Our goal is to pay close attention to the needs of all and find solutions to the many growing problems of today. We need to develop pride and dignity in our neighborhoods and make the community a welcoming place for any and all multi cultural families and individuals.

 

Solution: Our program is designed to create jobs for the surrounding community.

Agricultural Education: Someone has to teach agricultural courses and pursue agricultural research. This largely falls on the shoulders of instructors and education specialists within the agricultural education field. Our organizations also employ agriculture educators, researchers and individuals who have a passion for this field.

Agricultural engineering: One area of agriculture that requires an advanced degree within a field of engineering is agricultural engineering. Agriculture requires the extensive use of machinery, buildings, water lines and waste management, all which require expert knowledge to keep the food supply safe.

Agronomy/Soils: Agronomy deals with soil management and crop production. Many upper level positions within this field require an advanced degree in agriculture, biology or genetics, but there will be an abundance of apprentice and entry level positions for people who have a passion for this field.

Food science: Careers in food science working with livestock and crops on a farm you must be able to turn those resources into food that's ready to be placed on the table in homes around the world. Individuals involved in food sciences deal with safety, research and product development before the food hits the shelves.

Animal Sciences: Working with livestock like pigs, chicken, turkey, cattle or horses these individuals may help with the care of animals as ranch hands or breeders, or they may take on more scientific roles as large animal veterinarians or animal geneticists. Listed below are many jobs that will be created through our program for CAF.

VALUED INITIATIVE

Structural Community Preservation:

Many infrastructures in Queens, including the entire State of New York and across the United States were built between the 1940’s and back. When these homes and structures were developed they were only made for the amenities accommodated for that era. There wasn’t a large amount of electricity flowing through out homes if it was any electricity at all. These structures were made for bare necessities 1 bathroom, 2-3 bedrooms, 1 kitchen with one sink, small refrigerator, and one small stove, the home may have had a television and or radio and not many plug in items as we have today like a small oil burning heating system or wood burning furnace. If we look in retrospect from that era and into today we are talking about 80 years plus of wear and tear on a structure that will go on the market and sell in New York City for 350K as is. An inspector will do the necessary preparations to make sure the home pass so a sale can be made. However you’re still purchasing an old piece of dilapidated wood. It isn’t worth 350k you are doomed for hard and aggravated times.  As a buyer you would still need to take out another loan to make the necessary alterations, which are the major pricey repairs: roofing, plumbing, heating, and electrical to even live in the home.

 

Today people are more intuitive on comfort, safety, longevity, eco friendly, style, and curb appeal and also luxury. We are living in modern times and people want modern homes, many homes have 2 refrigerators, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, ice machine, industrial appliances, pools, hot tubs, deep freezers and entertainment systems that all require updated materials.

 

Christina from Queens, lives in a house that is 140 years old the original heating system was a fire place using good old wood to heat the house then it was converted into a coal burning system, then into an oil burning system then finally this pass winter she had to convert to gas because the oil burner finally had its last turn and the cost of oil to heat her home was absolutely ridiculous. She jus couldn’t afford oil anymore. The plumbing in her home is from 80 years ago with asbestos all over the pipes. The front house is actually tilted which means the house is not leveled the walls are all cracked because of settling of the house. The second bedroom leaks when it rains because the entire roof needs to be completely renovated. The electricity in the house is old. To rewire her home would cost 30,000 just to rewire. Wall patching is not included just to mention the house has no sheet rock they used plaster back then the all wall must come down. Christina has a problem.

 

Theses are just some of the many problems most homeowners face with an existing home or new purchase of a home. Many of these structures have remained un- touched simply because of cost. The cost to rehab your home sends people running with the fear of going broke. Many people these days aren’t getting the traditional construction loans or loans to get the repairs done. They run into credit issues, the bank denied them for whatever reasons they jus cant afford to do anything without it interrupting their lives. Ultimately these homes end up never getting repaired and is left for the next person to deal with.

 

Solution:

Our program for structural community preservation is designed to extend credit to any homeowner who wants a re-construction on their home. There is no need to go to the bank the traditional way. Our home rehab specialist will visit the home or the homeowner can come to our facility to see our models on display. This way the homeowner can actually see a real model with his or her eyes.  The rehab specialist will listen to the homeowners needs and together a plan will be formulated to proceed with the rehab of the home. Our contractor will then survey the home and go over the plans with the homeowner. When the homeowner is satisfied with the plans a date will be set and construction on the homeowners home will commence.

Our program also has an insurance program that comes with any and all of our home reconstruction plans this insurance plan will serve as a lifetime guarantees after reconstruction is done any wear and tear will be covered with no additional cost at the time of repairs or any deductibles.
