A secure place to live is not a luxury. It is the foundation upon which dignity, health, and participation rest. Any system that seeks to coordinate human effort must first ensure that everyone has a place to call home.

Each person determines how much personal square footage they wish to secure, along with their preferences for amenities, location, landscaping, community standards, noise levels, proximity to schools, public transportation, and other factors. This individualized approach is coordinated globally, so that earned square footage can be applied to housing in any community that upholds GRO standards.

Square footage credits are portable and combinable. Individuals can merge their credits with others to cohabitate larger spaces for renewable periods. If they part ways, they return to housing that matches their personal credit. Community-specific standards are enforced equally, ensuring peaceful, fair shared living environments.

Property conditions are reviewed upon move-out. If repairs or maintenance are required, individuals must either perform the work, use surplus credits to cover it, agree to earn additional credits, or accept a deduction from their future living space. This could temporarily reduce their qualifying square footage or lower their housing tier until the balance is restored.

Children are granted space for their own room within a household, and retain that space until they begin their independent journey through education and contribution. At that time, they begin earning their own square footage credits, building toward expanded independence.

Popular areas with higher demand are distributed proportionally. This ensures everyone has the opportunity to experience desired locations, but prevents monopolization. Time-limited access in these locations is based on available credits and community fairness agreements.

Shelter credits cannot be inherited or transferred. Every individual earns their own access. This ensures that no person is born into housing disadvantage, nor does anyone gain unfair advantage. GRO coordinates future housing needs transparently, planning ahead to match demand and uphold equitable access for all.

In this system, shelter becomes a shared project—not a commodity, but a right earned through coordinated contribution. Everyone knows their effort guarantees a place to call home, reinforcing dignity, security, and responsibility across the planet.
