Subject: Allocation of Funds for Emergency Housing Stabilization and Support for Corporate Incorporation

I. PURPOSE

This document constitutes a formal request for the allocation of County funds necessary to ensure the immediate security, stabilization, and continued temporary housing of approximately 1,000 unhoused residents within Ocean County for a period of three (3) months, and to provide permanent housing for 333 individuals through County‑approved, HUD‑aligned pathways.

This proposal further requests that the Board provide formal governmental assistance in the incorporation of Damien Knight Enterprises, LLC, enabling the entity to access State of New Jersey startup grant programs to cover all remaining operational costs associated with the Emergency Public‑Access Stabilization Pilot (EPASP), excluding the costs of mobile broadband service and a high‑definition camcorder, which are not included in this request.

II. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS

The Board is respectfully asked to acknowledge the following:

1.  A Public Safety and Humanitarian Emergency Exists.

Ocean County is presently responsible for the temporary sheltering of approximately 1,000 unhoused residents. Discontinuation of such sheltering would create immediate and substantial risks to life, health, and public safety.

2.  Federal Compliance Requires Documentation and Stabilization.

Federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), require continuous documentation, outreach, and stabilization efforts to qualify for emergency and long‑term funding.

3.  Permanent Housing for 333 Residents Is Necessary and Feasible.

The County has access to adaptive reuse opportunities, community land trust models, and other HUD‑aligned mechanisms capable of providing permanent housing for at least one‑third of the current unhoused population.

4.  Civic Media Infrastructure Is Required for Transparency and Federal Eligibility.

The Emergency Public‑Access Stabilization Pilot (EPASP), operated by meta.Gtv under Damien Knight Enterprises, LLC, provides the real‑time documentation, public‑access communication, and compliance reporting necessary to support federal funding applications.

5.  Incorporation Support Is Necessary for Operational Continuity.

Damien Knight Enterprises, LLC requires formal governmental assistance in completing its incorporation process to access State startup grants that will cover all remaining operational costs not included in this funding request.

III. REQUESTED ACTIONS

The Board of Commissioners is respectfully requested to take the following actions:

A. Allocation of Emergency Housing Funds

1.  Maintain temporary housing for 1,000 unhoused residents for a period of three (3) months, including hotel/motel placements, emergency sheltering, and associated safety measures.

IV. LIMITATIONS OF REQUEST

•  Mobile broadband service

•  High‑definition camcorder equipment

•  Any operational costs that may be covered by State startup grants following incorporation

All such costs will be borne by Damien Knight Enterprises, LLC or funded through State programs.
