Joshua’s Community of Southern Nevada will be the first eco-friendly community built specifically for the homeless in the US. The call for $50 million to fund the project has been answered by Greystone Energy BT, a leading sustainable energy company dedicated to making Joshua’s Community a self-sustaining property with 24-hour electrical generation plants on site.

With funding and sustainable energy resources in place, Joshua’s Community awaits the OK from elected officials and the Bureau of Land Management to release 640 acres of desert land 29 miles north of Las Vegas. In September of 2009 Joshua’s Community planner Dr. Joseph D’Angelo gained support of city officials, including Mayor Oscar Goodman. He then petitioned federal officials to grant the land, which they are required to do under the McKinney-Vento Act.
Once federal officials release the land, this site will be the model for congressional legislation to amend the McKinney-Vento Act of 1987, Title V for the establishment of Homeless Communities in every state throughout America.
“Joshua’s Community will be the first fully sustainable, eco-friendly community built specifically for the homeless in the United States,” D’Angelo said. “It will be the example of community development that will save hundreds of thousands of lives throughout the country.”

Joshua’s Community will produce power at a lower cost of production and operation, and create over one thousand jobs in the community, with or without a federal blessing.
“If our federal government does not donate and convey the land requested for the community, per the laws stated in the original submittal, then I am prepared to pay for the land under the Recreation and Public Purpose Act, revised August 1996 as a 501(c)(3),” D’Angelo said. “I am confident this project will move forward and provide safer environments for the homeless and urban populations.”

The mission of Joshua’s community is to serve as a domicile for the homeless and those in need; a sanctuary where individuals can receive care, help and support on an individual basis defined by present needs, future aspirations and individual capabilities.
