Housing

Assuming an efficient layout, up to 200 cots could be accommodated for sleeping, with each cot requiring about 30 sq ft including spacing for aisles and personal space.

Shower and Laundry Facilities:

  • Showers: Expanding to 20 shower units to better serve residents and potentially more day visitors, ensuring no wait times and improved hygiene.
  • Laundry: Upgrading to 4 operational laundry units, catering to increased demand from residents and operational needs.

Feeding Capacity:

  • Kitchen and Dining Area: With a larger space available, the dining area can be expanded or meal sessions can be increased.
    • The facility could feasibly feed up to 400 individuals per meal session, accommodating more residents and community members in need.

Operational Office and Meeting Space:

  • Office/Meeting Room: A larger 600 sq ft space could serve multiple functions, including administrative tasks, meetings, and providing private counseling or group workshops.

Farming Operations in a 10,000 sq ft Space:

  • Vertical Farming Efficiency: Doubling the space for farming allows for significant scale-up in production. The potential yield could increase proportionally, allowing for a broader variety of crops and more intensive farming techniques.

Summary:

  • Nightly Shelter Capacity: Up to 200 individuals
  • Daily Feeding Capacity: Up to 800 individuals across meal sessions (considering the potential for serving more than two meals a day with increased space).
