The Monai Village Capital Campaign

THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY DEPENDS ON YOU.

We have a dream! Monai Village has identified a critical need in our community: to create an affordable living community where youth in transition can receive holistic support.

Our Vision

We aim to build a 40-unit, fourplex-style residential community on 6–10 acres of land.

This village will provide affordable housing along with access to vocational training, life skills education, and a supportive community. Our mission is to prevent homelessness and ensure young people have the tools and resources they need to thrive — including access to basic needs services that increase mental stability and long-term success.

How It Works

We will house 6–12 youths in apartment units within a community complex. This transitional living program teaches independence, accountability, and financial responsibility — all while providing a stable, supportive environment. Youths will contribute to rent and utilities (estimated at $1,000/month/youth), helping them build credit and develop money management skills.

Education & Empowerment

Participants will be required to either follow an education plan — such as college or trade school — or create a personalized career plan. This ensures each youth identifies their strengths and passions while setting achievable, goal-oriented paths forward. Whether pursuing higher education or entering the workforce, the program supports them in navigating real-world systems and developing the discipline and awareness needed for long-term success.

Professional Development

In addition to housing and education, the program will focus on helping youths learn to network, present themselves professionally, and succeed in adult settings.
