The long-term vision is a global network of 300 self-contained \u201cMicrocities\u201d housing 1,500 to 15,000 occupants each, located in special economic zones, tribal lands, and closed U.S. military bases.

Eligible individuals include those with autism spectrum disorders, substance use disorders, PTSD, severe trauma, and other mental health conditions. A formal diagnosis is not strictly required with a referral letter from an approved sponsor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How It Works:<\/strong>\u00a0Each microcity operates under a\u00a0<strong>90\/10 Hybrid Workforce Model<\/strong>.
