YEAR: 1993
GRANT: $250,000 grant from the Arco Corp.
OBJECTIVE: Solving some of the pressing housing problems for the homeless
OUTCOME: November 5, 1993 Dome Village (originally known as Genesis One) opened it’s doors for the homeless in Los Angeles, California.
EXISTENCE: Dome Village existed for over 11 years.
SUCCESS: Dome Village was the launch pad for many so called lost homeless people to re-enter the community.
ATTENTION: The successes had been attracting attention both nationally and internationally with visits from HRH Prince Edward of England, The Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum as well as government and business dignitaries from various parts of the world.
How it all started
The Dome Village sponsored programs have the following goals:
Engage the residents of Dome Village in productive, industrious and responsible activities right where they live.
Provide access to information and resources to assist the client's transition out of homelessness.
Create jobs and incentives for village residents which can provide them with an opportunity to earn extra income, increase their self-esteem and work ethic, and to better their immediate community.
Teach the residents valuable skills and technologies they can utilize to help them return to mainstream society. Skills may also be used to help residents manage, facilitate and improve the Dome Village and assist in the creation of future homeless communities.
Develop micro-enterprises and generate income to help support the
community, as well as to provide residents with an opportunity to
develop marketing, sales and leadership skills and improve their
ability to work cooperatively, while assuming individual
responsibilities.
Clean and beautify the local neighborhood by regularly removing
trash, debris, weeds and graffiti from the surrounding area; improve
the aesthetics and atmosphere of the area by creating a park-and-
garden setting at Dome Village for residents, neighbors and other
visitors to enjoy while at the same time instilling a sense of
appreciation for a clean and green environment.
Domes as Stabilizing Tools
Facts at a glance
• Solar Powered
• Environmentally friendly
• Affordable and cost effective
• Able to Produce Potable Water
• FEMA Approved for Emergency Shelters
• State Approved for use as Homeless Shelters
• Earthquake resistance—the panels flex instead of breaking.
• OSHA Approved for the Agriculture Industry for worker housing.
• Water resistance—the panels can be completely sealed from the ground up.
• Portability—the Enviro- Dome can be easily disassembled and relocated to a new site.
• Quick construction—an Enviro- Dome can be erected in two or three hours by two or three untrained people.
• The structural strength—the curved surface of the panels reduces wind resistance, enabling the structure to withstand
straight-line winds of 200 miles per hour or more.

Military Mobile Support
Structures (MMoSS)The MMoSS will render the tent, a structure used in military campaigns for over 2000 years, obsolete. Our soldiers have decisive victories
but lack short / medium term storage, medical and housing infrastructure without massive building and logistic support. With MMoSS,
each semi truck trailer can hold 8 MMoSS units providing ballistic and environmental protection to 32 soldiers (3 squads). The MMoSS unit
can withstand 6 direct hits with a .44 caliber round without penetration, thereby exceeding the Class 3 ballistic armor requirements.
Additional protection is available as an option up to 7.62 NATO.
The natural spherical shape increases MMoSS survivability as projectiles will always impact a curved surface thereby causing an indirect impact
and expending the kinetic energy prior to entry.
In addition to storage and housing of troops, the MMoSS is ideal for Medical Services in both conventional and biological conflicts.
Combined with the ballistic protection, the MMoSS units can easily be sealed environmentally and can utilize positive pressure HVAC
systems with HEPA and Carbon scrubbing filters to ensure airborne contaminants are kept external to the structure.
MMoSS lends itself extremely well to triage and isolation requirements within the trauma units.
They provide a secure, environmentally sealed structure whereas isolation or triage services can be accomplished closer to the battlelines
with much more protection than the current fabric based systems in use today. Providing protection and stabilization as soon as possible
is what MMoSS does the best.
