KinRoots is a model, not just a building. The three-wing intergenerational care concept — assisted living, early childhood, and family stabilization around a shared courtyard — is replicable. Communities that need this can license the model and build it under their own identity.
KinRoots starts in Anchorage because that's where the need is clearest and the first partners are strongest. But the three-wing U-shaped model is a template designed for replication — in Native communities, rural towns, and urban neighborhoods across North America that face the same interlocking crises.
A U-shaped facility with three distinct wings sharing common infrastructure: a central courtyard, shared kitchen, administrative offices, utilities, and outdoor programming space. The U-shape isn't metaphorical — it's the physical design specification.
Three licensed, regulated programs under one roof: assisted living (state-licensed), early childhood education (state-licensed), and a residential family stabilization program (state-certified). Each has its own funding streams, compliance requirements, and staff credentialing.
Triple revenue streams — private pay assisted living fees, childcare fees, and state/federal reimbursement for family stabilization. Shared infrastructure keeps costs low. Break-even under 50% occupancy. Five simultaneous grant categories.
Staffing ratios, program integration protocols, intergenerational programming playbooks, referral networks, and community partnership frameworks. The model includes how the three populations interact — because that's the part that makes it work.
We don't want to own dozens of buildings. We want dozens of communities to have what Anchorage is about to have. Licensing means sharing everything we learn — the design, the financial model, the grant strategy, the operational playbooks — so the next community doesn't start from scratch.
We share our full feasibility analysis: market sizing methodology, financial model templates, grant qualification checklist, site selection criteria, and regulatory overview for your state. You get everything we built for Anchorage, adapted for your market.
Architectural design specifications for the three-wing U-shape facility, including wing adjacencies, shared infrastructure requirements, courtyard design, safety and accessibility standards, and the specific spatial relationships that make the intergenerational interactions work.
Operating playbooks for each wing: staffing models, licensing requirements by state, intergenerational programming schedules, referral intake processes, and the Family Stabilization program curriculum including recovery support, workforce development, and life skills components.
The full funding stack — which federal and state grants to pursue, in what order, with what documentation. Templates for SAMHSA WIF applications, CCDBG submissions, Title IV-E prevention plans, and NMTC project structures. We won't have grant writers — but we'll have templates that work.
License partners use their own brand. KinRoots is our working name in Anchorage — we even invite our first community partner to rename it in their language. The model travels. The identity belongs to the community it serves.
The three-wing model was designed specifically for communities facing overlapping crises in elder care, childcare, and family stability. These communities exist everywhere.
ICWA compliance, elder care, childcare, and family preservation in one investment. Cultural programming keeps traditions alive. ANC infrastructure investment model is proven and replicable.
Any federally recognized tribe with the same family-centered mission and sovereign land base can build this model. BIA infrastructure funding, IHS eligibility, and Title IV-E tribal track apply.
Small towns where the only care option is 2+ hours away. USDA Community Facilities and NMTC funding was designed for exactly this situation. The model works at smaller scale.
Community development organizations, CDFIs, and non-profits focused on family outcomes. The three-wing model gives them a project that hits every impact metric simultaneously.
Public entities facing Medicaid elder care costs, childcare infrastructure gaps, and substance abuse treatment needs can use the model to address three budget priorities with one capital project.
Organizations with land, community trust, and a family-centered mission. The Family Stabilization wing in particular aligns with faith-based approaches to recovery and family support.
KinRoots is what we call this in English, in Anchorage, while we're building it. But when we walk into a partnership with a new community, we don't bring our name. We bring the model.
In every community we partner with, we ask: "Would an elder bless this with a name from your language?" The facility should carry meaning from the people it serves — not a brand from a developer in Anchorage. KinRoots is a working name. The right name for your community is the one your elders give it.
We're actively building the first facility in Anchorage. If your community has the need, the land, and the mission — let's talk about what comes second.
