Re: Global Homeless Shelter Initiative: Solar Dome Televillage Project
Dear Captain Kubley;
The Green Technology Institute, Inc. (GTI) of the Tom Bradley Legacy Foundation has launched the Global Homeless Shelter Initiative (GHSI) to establish a network of Green Technology Training and Incubation Centers known as the “Solar Dome Televillage Project.” The mission of these Centers is to educate and empower the homeless people to control his/her own economic destiny and be part of the growing Green Economy. GTI would like to partner with Intershelter, Inc. to carry out our common vision and mission in providing solutions to empower people to create a sustainable future
GTI’s model of a “Solar Dome Televillage” is patterned after the Dome Village that was constructed in downtown Los Angeles in the ‘90s under the leadership of Ted Hayes. During that period, I served as the Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission and had the opportunity to see the progress and was able to interact with some of the people living at LA Dome Village.
As an urban planner and a former planning commissioner, I was part of the development of two (2) twenty-year master plans for the City of Los Angeles (1975-95 Centers Concept Plan & 1995-2015 Sustainable Framework Plan). I am acutely aware of the growing problem of the homeless and its impact on our cities.
As a solar energy pioneer during President Carter’s Administration, I started a renewable energy business developing and installing solar absorption cooling and heating, medical autoclave, solar drying, water desalination and photovoltaic systems.
We must combat poverty and ignorance through education and training, therefore, GTI is involved with both onsite and online training programs to develop a green collar workforce and eco-entrepreneurs. We are also involved with partners that have developed aquaponics and aeroponics growing technologies to feed the villagers.
The world is transitioning from the Grey Economy powered with coal and oil that have created an unsustainable lifestyle, to a Green Economy that will be built on renewable energy resources to create a sustainable future. We must deconstruct the Industrial Rust Belt that we built in the 20th century and reconstruct the Technology Green Belt in the 21st century. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act appropriated $878 billion to rebuild and reinvest in the green economy and a key strategy is to train a green collar workforce to build the new economy. The new homeless population should be part of this strategy and must be given the opportunity to help rebuild America by providing the proper skills to accomplish this mission..
I look forward to working with Intershelter, Inc. to establish these Solar Dome Televillage Centers throughout the world as part of a strategic action plan to deal with the homeless crisis.
Sincerely,
Les Hamasaki
