A Vision Through the Mist

Community-Driven Solutions

Finding Camelot is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a cooperative housing network that empowers individuals and families through affordable living, shared responsibilities, and personal growth.

Our mission is to foster emotional intelligence, heal generational trauma, and promote economic empowerment by providing sustainable solutions for the working classes.

By prioritizing people over profit, we aim to build a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

We are a network of cooperative properties owned by the nonprofit, purchased and then renovated to meet the unique demands of cohabitation with tax-deductible donations.
We are a model that shows people how to live comfortably in close quarters, starting with a single household and expanding from there.
We are a system that reduces the cost of living through cooperation, enabling members to control how their time and labor is valued.
We are a movement that empowers the working class by fostering collective bargaining on a massive scale.

Cassandra, Roo Roo(Rufus) and Koda Bear(Dakota)

My Name is Cassandra

My whole life, I have felt like an outsider, looking in at a world that I didn't quite understand but would have given anything to be a part of. My family tells tales of unusual psychic experiences in my early childhood; I told my mom she was having twin boys long before any could have known and I started predicting bad weather at 5-years-old. I've learned that the thing that humans and storms have in common is that they both generate their own magnetic fields. This has led me to conclude that it's a combination of neurodivergent pattern recognition and a senitivity to change in the magnetic spectrum.

Camelot: a time, place, or atmosphere of idyllic happiness.

The first time I read that it got me to thinking about what Camelot would look like today. When I think of idyllic happiness I don’t imagine a world without challenging experiences; I imagine a world where everyone has the opportunity to process those experiences and grow from them. I imagine that public and private behavior can be the same behavior because more importance is placed on authenticity than on obedience; that nobody goes without and everyone has the opportunities they work for. I don’t want to just imagine Camelot though. I want to find a way through the whole of the modern world and live there.

When I had a stroke in 2011, I became a partial quadriplegic three weeks before my 29th birthday.

I struggled for years before realizing that I had been aligned with my purpose in the only way that would have worked. I have always felt the weight of a looming destiny; the pull of unfulfilled purpose. Finding Camelot is about the journey between where we are in this moment and where we hope to be in the next.

I offer the story of my initiation as the only credentials I have.

The Finding Camelot Network

Transforming Communities Through Strategic Property Acquisition

Acquiring property is a pivotal strategy in transforming our vision into reality and providing our members with the environment they need to heal and achieve self-sufficiency.

Publicly owned housing has been recognized for its potential to stabilize and sustain the housing market.

Here are three sources that discuss this concept:

A New Vision for Social Housing in America by the Center for American Progress emphasizes that a bold federal program of social housing construction is the most effective way to address America’s severe housing affordability crisis.
Addressing the Affordable Housing Crisis Requires Expanding Rental Assistance and Developing New Units by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities discusses the need for a comprehensive housing strategy, including developing new units and preserving existing affordable housing, to close the housing affordability gap.
The Market Alone Can’t Fix the U.S. Housing Crisis from Harvard Business Review argues that public governance and direct investments are necessary to address housing issues effectively, as market solutions alone are insufficient.

Implementing and maintaining publicly owned housing presents challenges, particularly in funding and management. Our approach addresses these by ensuring that

properties within our network are owned by the nonprofit but operated by the public.

Membership dues are managed transparently through dedicated accounts for each property, with all members having access to the account ledger. This structure promotes trust and community involvement.

Funding for property acquisition and renovation comes exclusively from tax-deductible donations made directly to the nonprofit.

This approach serves multiple purposes:

Financial Redistribution: It channels resources from wealthier individuals back to the broader community, promoting economic balance.
Sustainable Support: By investing in long-term affordable housing rather than temporary aid, it provides enduring assistance to those in need.
Tax Incentives: The tax-deductible status offers donors a means to reduce taxable income, which could be particularly beneficial if higher taxes are imposed on the wealthy.

This model not only stabilizes the housing market but also fosters a supportive community where members can heal and work towards self-sufficiency.

Returning to Reason

A Healed and Empowered Society

Finding Camelot is uniquely designed to foster emotional intelligence and heal generational trauma, offering a model for personal and communal transformation.

Our structure and values create a nurturing environment where members can reconnect with themselves and others, breaking harmful cycles and fostering resilience, empathy, and self-awareness.

By fostering emotional intelligence and addressing the root causes of generational trauma, Finding Camelot is laying the groundwork for a society where individuals are whole, relationships are harmonious, and the cycles of pain and disconnection are broken. This is not just about survival; it’s about creating a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Collaborative Childcare: Building Better Adults for a Better Tomorrow

We can't control what others do behind closed doors but we can encourage and support each other in making healthy choices

Gentle accountability through peer recognition, horizontal leadership structures, and a clear grievance resolution policy
Childcare is provided through a rotating household schedule to distribute responsibilities equitably and alliveate caregiver stress
Exposure to multiple perspectives allows children to form their own opinions on how to be an effective adult

Dependent Lodging: Designed for Growth

Member’s Room (under 1): from birth until age 1 at the earliest, a child sleeps in the room with their guardian household member

In Household Complexes the specifics of accommodation depend on the needs of the household and the room availability of the renovated structure.

At all Logos Nostos Estates there are purpose-built dependent quarters:

The Nursery (Ages 1-6): Full supervision, no assigned chores, focus on early development
The Bunkroom (Ages 7-12): Shared responsibilities, independent problem-solving, cooperative learning through natural consequences
The Dorms (Ages 13+): Near full autonomy, structured independence with personal and group responsibilities

The Strength of the Working Class

Unlocking Our Potential: A Framework for Socioeconomic Stability

By adding a third element to our hybrid system, we create a tri-brid socioeconomic system that integrates the strengths of capitalism, communism, and socialism into a cohesive system; each element playing a vital role in symbiotic support.

Self-sufficient households allow workers to challenge a system designed to extract value from them, while offering little in return.

The path forward lies in the labor force reclaiming ownership of its power. This is how we will shape our current system into one that recognizes the worth of every person's contribution and begins prioritizing people over profits.

Building Trust: Our Community Governance Model

The household leadership teams make up the nonprofit's board of directors
Board membership requires active household membership
Board leadership is democratically elected from the board’s members
Monthly membership dues are used by the member’s household of residence only
Payments managed transparently through a cash app account.
Board members also handle general public relations through social media

Advocacy in Action

Evaluating Justice in Today’s Society

Our justice system is not meant to be just a static set of laws.

The application and pursuit of justice is a dynamic process that should evolve to meet the needs of all people and communities.

Our call for justice is restorative, preventative, and rooted in empathy and empowerment. By addressing corruption and the root causes of inequality we intend to build a foundation for true justice in society.

The Right to Liberty

Our Vision for Change

Our justice system was never designed to solve societal challenges like addiction, poverty, or mental health crises. Instead, it has historically punished those struggling with these issues, treating their circumstances as crimes rather than symptoms of systemic failure. Finding Camelot stands firmly against this approach.

We believe in dismantling laws that criminalize behaviors without victims, focusing on prevention, education, and community-driven solutions.

Decriminalization & Support: We advocate for the decriminalization of victimless activities and the redirection of resources toward rehabilitation, harm reduction, and support networks.

Restorative Justice: Justice should focus on repairing harm when harm exists—not on punishing behaviors that don’t threaten public safety. We champion policies that address root causes rather than symptoms.

Breaking the Cycle: The criminalization of victimless activities feeds the prison-industrial complex and perpetuates economic inequality. Our mission is to replace this system with one that uplifts individuals and empowers communities to thrive.

We are committed to building a society where the justice system works for the people it serves. This means advocating for reforms that prioritize healing over punishment and offering tools for communities to organize, educate, and protest the laws that oppress them.

The true measure of just society is not how many people we incarcerate but how effectively we empower people to live lives of dignity, purpose, and freedom.

Legal System Reform: A Crucial Step Toward Empowerment

At Finding Camelot, we recognize that economic stability and social healing are impossible without addressing the deep-rooted injustices in our legal system. The working class is disproportionately affected by:

Predatory fines and fees that turn minor infractions into financial crises.
Disproportionate incarceration that removes wage earners from their families and communities.

Our advocacy for legal system reform is central to our mission.

A just legal system should:

Prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration, ensuring that mistakes do not lead to lifelong punishment.
Uphold due process over expediency, preventing abuses of power that target the most vulnerable.
Hold those in power accountable, so the system serves the people rather than exploiting them.

Advocacy isn’t just about individual cases it’s about reshaping the foundation of our society to ensure that justice serves everyone.

Adventures in Advocacy

Championing Fairness for All

At Finding Camelot, we believe that liberty should not be reserved for the privileged. We are not legal professionals but through our Round Table Review, we have drafted amicus curiae briefs and other court documents intended to–

amplify the voices of the unheard and expose injustices

–in our legal system. Below are redacted versions of our legal filings—preserving privacy, upholding truth, and promoting transparency in all we do.
