DEAR ..........................

I want to speak about one of the most painful truths of our time—that homelessness in California has become a billion-dollar industry, where far too many benefit from managing the crisis rather than ending it.

As someone who has worked on the frontline of addiction, mental illness, and homelessness for over 35 years—in both Denmark and now here in California—I want to personally thank you for  reading this message - and hopefully having the courage to say what others won’t.

But I also want to offer you a real, proven solution. A project that is ready to deploy. That works. That saves lives.

Introducing “Billy’s Place” – Emergency Recovery Village

Billy’s Place is an emergency tent-based recovery camp built on:

• Military-style infrastructure for 300 homeless individuals.
• Peer-led, structured recovery using the RTB/4Steps® model.
• Daily outreach and voluntary transport from Skid Row.
• 60–90 days of stabilization, followed by transitional housing and digital aftercare.
• Staffed by trained volunteers, not bureaucrats or profiteers.

The project is named after Billy, one of our first participants—formerly homeless, brain-injured after an overdose, sober in our transitional home, and now remembered with dignity.

We already operate Transitional Housing projects in Los Angeles, where former homeless individuals now live clean and sober. They pay for their own stay—not through government programs, but because they are now self-sufficient, working, and taking responsibility for their lives. This is proof that real recovery is possible, when the right support is in place.

What Makes This Different?

We are not another nonprofit seeking endless funding.
We are not offering more reports or press conferences.

We are offering:

• Land-based triage and recovery within 72 hours of approval.
• A plan that removes people from Skid Row by choice, not force.
• A community that heals, not just houses.
• A fully transparent model that does not depend on “big homelessness money.”

I founded Narcotics Anonymous in Denmark. I’ve cleared open drug scenes by transporting people to treatment. I’ve built and run recovery campuses for hundreds. Now I’m here, and the need is even greater.

Let’s Talk

I would be honored to present this project to you in person or via a private briefing.
We are seeking no-nonsense partners who are unafraid to act. You have the voice, the values, and the visibility to make this real.

You believe the system is broken.
Let’s fix it—together.

With deep respect,
