Volume 1 sets the foundation for the entire standard: the mission, the guiding principles, and the design values that carry through every later volume.
This is a long-term, aspirational planning framework. The Romeo Foundation is in its earliest stage: it holds 501(c)(3) status and a clear vision, but has not yet secured land, financing, completed housing, or signed partnerships. Everything here describes standards and intent for future development — not current facilities, and no figure or specification should be read as a commitment, an appraisal, or a guarantee. It is intended as a planning reference for architects, engineers, nonprofit leadership, grant writers, and technology partners.
Guiding Principles
Stable, dignified, affordable housing as the starting point for opportunity
