A fundable packet for Peer Village and the Inside-Out AI Reentry Network: housing, peer mentorship, AI/business education, family coordination, documents, and a signature campaign for prison-safe learning infrastructure.
Use this with family, a trusted outside lead, a fiscal sponsor, a foundation, or city/county staff. It is written to be understandable in five minutes.
Project: Peer Village / Inside-Out AI Reentry Network.
Location focus: Multnomah County / Portland, Oregon.
First pilot: 50-unit peer-led transitional village with 90-180 day stabilization and 90-day aftercare.
Longer mission: help incarcerated people and returning citizens become organized, educated, connected, and useful before and after release.
Current systems often pay after failure: jail, prison, courts, shelters, emergency rooms, crisis response, family collapse, and repeated homelessness. People inside often lose businesses, contacts, documents, education pathways, and family coordination. People coming home meet a modern economy they were not prepared for.
Build a peer-led, AI-assisted reentry infrastructure that combines housing, recovery support, business education, document coordination, family support, partner referrals, and measurable outcomes.
Peer Village is a 50-unit peer-led transitional village that connects high-need residents to recovery, mental health, deflection support, housing navigation, and aftercare while building a replicable AI-assisted reentry network.
The goal is not to ask for vague support. The goal is to ask the right party for the right role.
Needed if Warren's new nonprofit is not ready. This role can hold grant funds, insurance, compliance, reporting, and contracting.
Needed for deflection, outreach, HMIS, site access, and coordination with homelessness services.
Needed to prove whether Peer Village improves treatment linkage, housing placement, retention, and justice outcomes.
| Role | Best Person | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Vision lead | Warren | Owns lived-experience vision, peer model, partner history, and credibility. |
| Outside relationship lead | Warren's wife or another trusted outside person | Government, sponsors, and nonprofits need someone who can answer calls, forward documents, and schedule meetings. |
| Packet builder | Dmitrii / AI operator | Builds website, briefs, grant outline, MOU map, research, and email scripts. |
| Inside network lead | Travis + selected serious people | Finds real use cases and motivated people inside. |
| Professional review | Attorney / CPA / Medicaid advisor / grant writer | Needed before final legal, tax, Medicaid billing, or grant claims. |
Every partner must be marked as REAL, POSSIBLE, WISH LIST, or PRIVATE. This prevents the proposal from sounding inflated.
| Category | Examples To Verify | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Peer / Recovery | The Peer Company, 4D Recovery, CRM/PWS/FPS ecosystem | Who is a real relationship today? |
| Treatment / Detox | Rose City Detox, Fora, NARA, Another Chance, Oasis, Hope Center | Who can accept referrals and under what terms? |
| Housing | Sober Housing Oregon, Transcending Hope, Freedom on the Outside, Iron Tribe, Central City Concern | Who can place residents and track retention? |
| Government | Multnomah County Deflection, Community Justice, City outreach, JOHS | Who can discuss referral path, site, and funding? |
| Evaluation | PSU, OHSU, independent evaluator | Who can design outcomes and data plan? |
Critical risk: do not promise Medicaid billing, city money, site access, or partner commitments until each is verified. The first sponsor packet should be honest: confirmed, possible, desired.
This can become a public campaign after names, privacy, and legal exposure are reviewed.
Campaign title: Fund Prison-Safe AI, Business Education, and Reentry Preparation.
Core message: Pay for preparation now, or pay for failure later.
We ask public agencies, foundations, correctional leaders, and technology partners to fund monitored prison-safe AI education and reentry preparation programs that help incarcerated people organize documents, family coordination, education, business plans, peer support, and release planning.
The danger is becoming a free emotional help desk for everyone. The way out is to turn the help into an asset, a network, and a fundable proof system.
You are not the case manager for every incarcerated person. You are the builder of the bridge: AI operator, project architect, public narrative builder, and outside coordination engine.
