HISD.Life's The Emancipation Project
Empowerment Through Education and Entrepreneurship
To successfully implement a residential vocational and
recovery program for San Diego’s homeless individuals who
also, have a psychiatric diagnosis.
From professional assessments of the participants’ mental and
physical conditions to training in advanced laser-cutting
techniques and carpentry, the program aims to empower its
participants through self-sufficiency by learning both coping
techniques and vocational skills.
The Emancipation Program is a residential program designed
to foster mental health wellness in a recovery-oriented
environment. Through strategic alliances with education and
social services agencies plus a body of volunteers,
participants will obtain market-competitive skills for industry
and self-sufficiency.

As a part of the curriculum in the program, design plays a crucial
role, which can result in products to sell using wood:
The assistance of an industrial product developer is necessary for the success of this endeavor. Please contact me if you or a colleague is interested.
The purpose of this project is to enable the participants to become self-sufficient and at the end of the program, every client will own a tiny home they learn how to construct and maintain. This is an excellent motivation to stay in the program and achieve success.
Let's make this vision a reality by sharing this project with friends and colleagues. I appreciate your support. Thank you.
