The Good Neighbor Association

[Daniel Hankins]

Goal/ Elevator Pitch: Establish a non-profit organization (The Good Neighbor Association, GNA for short) that creates a community of Resident Neighbor Associates (RNAs) , that work together to ensure a minimum standard of living and home maintenance. The GNA will setup a network of health, financial, and social services. By treating RNAs as employees, we can tap into existing employer/ employee benefit structures used by many companies. The GNA will provide guides and services necessary to maintain the established community living standards. The GNA will manage the process of leveraging RNAs with excess time, to fulfill the community needs of the RNAs with excess money and accrued equity. The GNA will setup and manage the process that allows residents to gain equity into their individual property over time by simply managing the property to the established standards and paying their monthly operating costs. There will also be a process that allows residents to exchange their equity with the GNA to cover costs they might not otherwise be able to afford.
