# X. The Individual Program

The program leverages a hosting arrangement with homeowners who receive compensation in $LOVE tokens for providing space for a dome on their properties.

### A. Introduction to Affordable Housing Program:

Providing affordable and sustainable housing solutions is a key objective of the Love Community. Recognizing the challenges faced by ordinary individuals in finding affordable housing, the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative introduces the Individual Program to address these housing difficulties and create positive social impact.

### B. The Individual Program:

#### 1. Supporting Individuals and Single Families:

The Individual Program focuses on offering affordable housing solutions to individuals or single families who are seeking an alternative housing option. This program operates separately from the Love Community model, providing flexibility for those who prefer a more independent living arrangement.

#### 2. Hosting Arrangement and Compensation:

The Individual Program operates through a hosting arrangement between homeowners and program participants. Homeowners in areas with unrestricted zoning provide space on their properties for a dome, whether it is a studio or a larger dome suitable for a family. In return, homeowners receive compensation in the form of $LOVE tokens for each day they host a dome, while participants pay reduced rent in $LOVE tokens.

### C. Participant Housing Support:

#### 1. Targeting Individuals in Need:

The Individual Program specifically targets individuals or single families who are experiencing housing challenges, including those who may struggle to afford housing in the traditional market. The program aims to provide them with a viable and affordable housing solution within a dome through the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative.

#### 2. Reduced Rent in $LOVE:

Participants in the Individual Program benefit from reduced rent in $LOVE tokens, offering them a significant financial relief compared to their existing housing costs. This innovative approach ensures that participants can access safe and affordable housing while utilizing the advantages of blockchain technology and the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative ecosystem.

### D. Role of the Main Operating DAO:

#### 1. Management and Oversight:

The main operating DAO plays a crucial role in managing and overseeing the Individual Program. It takes responsibility for coordinating the matching process between homeowners and participants, ensuring a smooth transition and facilitating the transfer of $LOVE tokens as rent payment. The main operating DAO also ensures the proper functioning of the housing arrangement and provides ongoing support to both homeowners and participants.

#### 2. Distinct from Love Community Structures:

It is important to note that participants in the Individual Program are not directly involved in the Love Community structures. While they benefit from the affordable housing provided through the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative, their participation is primarily focused on accessing housing and not on participating in the community structures and activities.

### E. Benefits and Social Impact:

#### 1. Affordable Housing Access:

The Individual Program offers participants a significant benefit by providing them with access to affordable housing. This reduction in housing costs can alleviate financial burdens, allowing individuals and single families to redirect their resources towards other essential needs and aspirations. Access to safe and stable housing contributes to overall well-being and stability.

#### 2. Economic Empowerment for Homeowners:

Through the hosting arrangement, homeowners who participate in the Individual Program experience economic empowerment. By earning $LOVE tokens for hosting a dome on their property, homeowners receive compensation for providing a space and contributing to the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative's vision. This arrangement supports local homeowners, fosters positive community engagement, and creates economic opportunities within the Love Community ecosystem.

The Individual Program within the Vine + Fig Tree Initiative aims to address the housing challenges faced by individuals and single families. By providing affordable housing options and implementing a fair compensation system, the program contributes to the overall well-being of participants and homeowners, while fostering a sense of community and economic sustainability.
