Subject: Homes Across America – National Affordable Housing Initiative for Veterans, Families, and Survivors of Domestic Violence
President Donald J. Trump,
I write as Founder and Chair of the Viviscent Wellness Foundation, a United States 501(c)(3) public charity. Our mission is to expand affordable, dignified housing for veterans, working families, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals reentering society. We are advancing a national program titled Homes Across America. The goal is to deliver ten thousand homes across the country with a focus on rapid deployment, strict compliance, and long-term affordability.
The Foundation is a registered public charity under federal EIN 33-2503800 and operates with current registrations in Florida and Alabama.
Our foundation is active in Alabama and Oklahoma. We hold land, have local engagement, and are working with community leaders and state officials. Our sites are designed to meet HUD, VA, and USDA standards on cost and quality, with target construction costs in the range of one hundred forty to one hundred seventy dollars per square foot for one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. These units are modular or factory built, which shortens build time, increases consistency, and supports American manufacturing jobs.
The program structure is as follows:
• Veterans and Family Housing: One, two, and three bedroom modular and cargo based homes for veterans, workforce families, survivors of domestic violence, and reentry populations.
• Ownership Pathways: Lease to own programs that reward work history, service, and community participation.
• Supportive Services: Integrated services including mental health care, substance use recovery, and family stabilization.
• Domestic Violence Recovery Units: Dedicated safe housing for survivors and children, coordinated with victim service providers and law enforcement.
• American Manufacturing: Partnerships with Boxabl, SI Container Builds, and other U.S. modular manufacturers to expand domestic production.
• Local Workforce Development: Hiring and training pipelines that prioritize veterans and under employed residents in each build region.
This initiative aligns with several actions you have taken as President.
Executive Order 13878 established a White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing and directed federal agencies, including HUD, to identify and reduce rules that raise housing costs and limit supply. Our program advances this priority by using modular and cargo-based construction to reduce permitting friction, shorten build timelines, and deliver compliant units within cost bands needed for federal housing programs.
Executive Order 13822, Supporting Our Veterans During Their Transition from Uniformed Service to Civilian Life, called for improved access to mental health care and coordinated support for transitioning service members. Our model includes dedicated veteran housing clusters with behavioral health services, workforce training, and case management.
Your Proclamations on National Domestic Violence Awareness Month emphasized that homes must be places of refuge, comfort, and protection. Our sites include secured units and trauma informed services for survivors of domestic violence, designed in partnership with local service organizations, courts, and law enforcement.
Recent presidential actions related to homelessness and public safety increased the focus on accountability, treatment, and reductions in encampments. Our approach supports these goals through fixed, code compliant housing with support services, data tracking, and cooperation with local governments.
Each completed site delivers between twenty and fifty permanent homes, supporting an estimated two hundred residents per community and creating over one hundred local jobs during construction.
We request federal engagement to support this national program. We seek coordination with agencies responsible for affordable housing, veteran services, rural development, and domestic violence programs. We are prepared to submit detailed plans that outline compliance, cost controls, scalable manufacturing, and projected outcomes.
We are ready to brief your team and present site plans, production capacity, financial models, and timelines for the ten thousand home rollout.
Respectfully,
Kevin Edmundson Founder and Chair

Appendix A – Policy Alignment Summary Affordable Housing and Regulatory Barriers
Executive Order 13878, Establishing a White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing (June 25, 2019), directed a multi-agency council to identify federal, state, and local laws and practices that raise the cost of housing and limit supply and to recommend reforms. HUD later issued a request for information on barriers including zoning limits, impact fees, and permitting delays that increase housing costs. The Viviscent Wellness Foundation’s modular approach advances this policy by standardizing designs for rapid approval, locating projects in communities open to zoning reform, and maintaining cost targets compatible with HUD, VA, and USDA programs.
Veterans, Transition, and Mental Health
Executive Order 13822, Supporting Our Veterans During Their Transition from Uniformed Service to Civilian Life (January 9, 2018), directed VA, DoD, and DHS to improve access to mental health care and suicide prevention for service members in the first year after separation. The Homes Across America sites reserve units for recently separated service members, pair housing with mental health and job training services, and coordinate with local VA facilities and veteran organizations to ensure wraparound support.
Domestic Violence Awareness and Safe Housing
Proclamation on National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October 1, 2020) emphasized that homes must be places of refuge and comfort and highlighted federal support for survivors and their children. Viviscent’s model includes dedicated units for survivors of domestic violence and their children, partnerships with local victim service providers, and trauma informed case management with links to legal advocacy and law enforcement.
Homelessness, Public Order, and Treatment
Recent presidential actions have emphasized public safety, reduction of encampments, and expansion of treatment and institutional care for homeless individuals with serious mental illness. By replacing encampments with permanent, regulated homes that include treatment access and clear rules, Homes Across America meets these goals while preserving dignity and promoting recovery and work outcomes.
