United States

Stock and Flow Structures

  • create a service that provides the same level of care and assistance as a supportive family would.  https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8AHRyNp/

  • Expand caregiving services, and assisted living facilities

  • Create client-owned assisted living facilities comparable to the structure of Moishe House. Care is achieved through house member support swapping, community support swapping, access of local resources, and stipends to pay for remaining caregiving or domestic work hours. (this is a low-budget way for an individual organizer. government should provide more support and funding)

Paradigm

  • create policies that put disability services at an equal value as medical care such as requiring the cost to be covered by insurance.

  • Develop an “it takes a village” culture of community responsibility by everyone to everyone. 

Rules

  • Labor contracts for stay-at-home parents https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8JV6rpK/
