TENTS BEFORE CHPF		TENTS AFTER CHPF

Thank you for taking the time to visit our Caring House Project Foundation page. My name is Frank McKinney.

I have spent the better part of the last 25 years creating some of the most magnificent oceanfront estate homes in the world, each created on speculation.

In one of my new books titled, Burst This! Frank McKinney's Bubble- Proof Real Estate Strategies, I share contrarian perspectives and a paradoxical approach for attaining generational success in real estate.

I feel I am qualified to do so, as I started many years ago with a $50,000 fixer upper and now recently completed Acqua Liana, the world's largest and most opulent certified "green" home at $23 million.

"Frank, what does this have to do with Caring House Project Foundation and helping the poor?"

Quite a bit. Stay with with me.

In all, I have written five books, but none more impacting than another new release titled The Tap.

In The Tap I share the most important spiritual principle of my success in the business we are all in, the business of life. I explain how God has tapped me (and taps everyone) many times in life, answering prayers and presenting life-changing opportunities.

The Tap shows how to sensitize yourself to feel then act on your life's great "Tap Moments," embracing the rewards and responsibilities of a blessed life.

And that is exactly what happened to me in 1998, when I experienced the most epiphaneous tap moment of my life and acting on that "tap" by starting the Caring House Project Foundation.

All the real estate successes were great, but what is it all for? I began by doing my best to live by the passage from the Gospel of Luke, 12:48: "Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more demanded of the person entrusted with more."

I felt the best way to reflect that mantra was by starting a foundation that cared for those who had no shelter.

After all, when you strip it down, I am simply in the housing business, and felt I should be providing that most basic need to those who have no home.

Stability begins with a home. Without the need of shelter being met, there is often little hope.

What started so small, by providing housing for $1 a month to elderly homeless people here in the United States, has grown tremendously.

CHPF has impacted the poorest of the poor in the countries of Haiti, Honduras, Nicargua, Indonesia and Africa.

If you look to the right and left of this text you will find a few videos depicting some of the projects CHPF has built around the world.

Outside of the United States, CHPF's primary involvement has been in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemishpere.

Since 2003, through CHPF donors, we have invested nearly $3 million into creating self-sufficient villages in Haiti.

With that commitment, by the beginning of 2011, CHPF will have built fifteen (15) villages in the Haitian cities of Gonaives(2), Port au Prince (Cite Soleil), Testasse, Ft. San Michael, Los Cacaos, Cap Haitian (Blue Hills), Ange Village, Paroty, Terre Rouge, Fond Rouge Torbek, Chameua, Mannual and Mahotiere/Rampa, and more all at no cost to the beneficiaries.

This year, in 2010, CHPF is building the three villages in Chameua, Mannual and Mahotiere/Rampa, which are close to Jeremie.

As of the beginning of 2011 over 7,000 people will have been sheltered because of CHPF, and hundreds of thousands more are alive because of our (and your) efforts.

Our Caring House Project Foundation mission statement:

"The Caring House Project Foundation shall create projects based upon self-sufficiency by providing housing, food, water, medical support and opportunity for the desperately poor and homeless from around the world, particularly in the Caribbean, South America, Indonesia, Africa and here in the USA."

Before I go on, would you consider helping our efforts by scrolling down this page and making a donation? There are many different donation options, very large to very small.

Our mission statement has expanded over the years to include elements now crucial to a self-sufficient existence where the poor and homeless will no longer have to rely on government or even charities to sustain and improve their lives.

Our 2010 Program of Work NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Please scroll below to choose an initiative that is near and dear to your heart.

As evidence of our commitment, let me share a little with you about a couple of projects CHPF either recently completed or is undertaking.

Highlights of the self-sustaining elements of the villages in
Terre Rouge, Paroty and Fond Rouge Torbek, Haiti:

Terre Rouge:
50 large houses that will house up to 400 family members, 50 latrines, 50 pregnant goats and 100 avacado, mango and other fruit trees.

Paroty:
25 houses housing up to 200 family members, 25 latrines, 40 pregnant goats and 50 fruit trees.

Fond Rouge Torbek:
25 houses housing up to 200 family members, 25 latrines, 35 pregnant goats and 50 fruit trees.

Please scroll below or visit our Donate Page at http://www.frank-mckinney.com/donate.aspx to pledge your support today for our projects.

Remember: "Each of us are fortunate to be blessed with the ability to succeed at some level. This success is not for our sole benefit however, but so we might apply the result of our success to assist those less fortunate."

Here is an excerpt from a letter from a new resident of a recently completed CHPF village who also works in the school:

I am grateful for the provision of the new village. We found this little 4 year old girl in a shack in the swamp with her two sisters, one 5 years the other 1 year. They were alone, all very hungry. They are our newest residents to move to the village along with another set of three children who just lost their mom last week. The youngest child of this family had her hand broken in several places. Her mother had symptoms of an illness that would cause her to fall constantly. She fell on the baby several times breaking her hands. God Bless you and those who made this possible - Delane Baily.

I know this page is getting long, but I am excited to share our plans for the balance of 2010 in the three new villages we are building in Chameua, Mannual and Mahotiere/Rampa, Haiti.

Each new village will be built with 50 large new homes, 50 new latrines, 50 pregnant goats, 100 fruit trees 1 mule (used to transport emergency patients, medical supplies and equipment).

That is a total of 150 homes housing up to 1,200 family members, 150 new latrines, 150 pregnant goats, 300 fruit trees and 4 mules!

These three cities are so remote that the villagers often have to walk over 10 hours just to get food and water.

Many currently live in dilapidated shacks made of cardboard, plastic, tin, or whatever materials they can scavenge from the garbage heaps.

These rudimentary dwellings have dirt floors and offer no protection against the brutal weather conditions.

Our Caring House Project Foundation will promote a new sense of community by providing safe housing, sanitation, renewable food resources, and water for the residents of Chameua, Mannual and Mahotiere/Rampa, Haiti.

Will take a moment to look at the donation options below?

Please choose the involvement where you desire to make the most impact: orphanages, schools, homes, water, renewable food, community centers (worship) or clinics.

Or, if you would like us to choose where the need is the greatest, then choose that option at the very bottom of the list.

There are varying donor levels and commitments can be made monthly. You can feel secure knowing your donations are being put to use where your heart calls!

"Somane Hilaire se yon je-n fiy-li kontan pou-l benefisye yon kay nan Ange Village. Sa pral bay diyite epi kontyans nan Lavi-a. Mwen pa fe jalouzi pou moun ki gen kay."

		Somane Hilare is a previously homeless resident of another village recenlty completed known as Ange Village. Translated from her native Creole, she says-"I have waited long to see this happen! This gives me a sense of dignity and confidence in life. I won't be jealous of anyone having a home."
