00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.351
Communities already contain knowledge, skill, creativity and lived experience.

2
00:00:04.351 --> 00:00:09.668
Housing instability, poverty, food insecurity, transportation barriers and daily survival can

3
00:00:09.668 --> 00:00:12.569
keep that capacity unseen or underused.

4
00:00:12.569 --> 00:00:17.887
People are a productive resource before an institution decides they are.

5
00:00:17.887 --> 00:00:20.787
This principle concerns capacity and opportunity.

6
00:00:20.787 --> 00:00:26.105
It never defines the value of a human life by economic

7
00:00:26.105 --> 00:00:26.588
productivity.

8
00:00:26.588 --> 00:00:31.906
Lived experience helped shape Foundational Homes, Municipal Tiny Homes and the

9
00:00:31.906 --> 00:00:32.873
ownership direction.

10
00:00:32.873 --> 00:00:38.190
Removing barriers can make previously overlooked community capacity visible, active and

11
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:40.124
able to help others.
