INTRODUCTION OF US

Welcome to Building Avenues Foundation

We believe the private sector can solve housing insecurity, substance use disorder, justice issues, and recovery by providing safe housing. We teach people and companies with real estate holdings that they can copy our model of shared housing for people in need. We have an obligation to improve the communities in which we live. We replace tarps with roofs, cardboard with sheetrock, and streets with carpet all in a safe neighborhood.

YEARS

OF EXPERIENCE

We are Helping People Write a New Life Story

Building Avenues Foundation was founded in 2022 to implement our novel model of shared housing to help people with housing insecurity.  Frank and Sherri help people and families with safe, affordable shared housing in appreciating neighborhoods.   To implement our vision, we used our retirement funds to purchase homes to change the recovery housing model that has existed for 50 years.

We buy single family homes in safe neighborhoods for people in recovery from substance use disorder or addiction, veterans, women and men who are justice involved, foster adults and people in need of safe, secure housing.    We provide outstanding housing.   Our social service partners provide funding, services and supervision.

Our focus is person and team centered. We partner with agencies who provide support for our shared clients. We provide outstanding housingWe invest in people and are changing the world.

Frank and Sherri change the lives of real estate investors who want to copy our housing model.  We share our knowledge in classes we created at Shared Housing Solutions, LLC. By teaching people what we do, we expand our reach, have national impact and help more people.

We are socialpreneurs committed to changing society while earning a profit to expand our work. We train other people who own or rent real estate on how to have profit and purpose. Our model creates financial security for you and housing security for others.  

We created the model of housing, we are housing people in houses we purchased and we  know shared housing firsthand.  Our goal is to have a Kate’s House in Every City in the US.

We are the first WAQRR Level II Medically Assisted Treatment homes in Washington state.

How to Build a Real Estate Portfolio, End Housing Insecurity with Shared Housing, Gain Financial Freedom and Change the World

Frank and Sherri Candelario, Ph.D. had a dream of ending housing insecurity for the vulnerable. They realized that the private sector can buy real estate and have the house payments made by state and federal dollars.  By partnering with agencies, people received services and we became the housing providers.

Kate’s House Foundation® is a 501c3 committed to zen, tranquility and compassionate and medically assisted treatment practices for recovery.

We change lives by showing other people who want a real estate portfolio and legacy how you can get triple financial returns with a single family home. At the same time, we are getting infinite returns in creating social change. Invest for profit and purpose.
Join us to provide housing or learn from us! We teach what we do. Every. Single Day.

By placing men and women in great neighborhoods, they created a paradigm shift on how to change the trajectory of an individual’s life story.

We soon realized that we did not need millions of dollars to buy homes.  House payments are paid by vouchers and government funding.

Sherri Candelario, Ph.D. received her doctorate in pharmacology from University of Washington Medical School and authored several pioneering research papers on how opioids work in the brain. Sherri is federally registered to practice patent law as a patent agent. Sherri is the founding patent counsel for numerous biotech companies that have gone public or have been acquired.

Frank Candelario spent his corporate years in international marketing and branding. He worked on five continents and was the public face for radio and television for his industry.  Frank was a Executive Camp Director for a California nonprofit, where he learned first hand how to manage people and properties on a large scale.

He founded a company that manufactured pickleball paddles.

Together we use corporate skills to provide a reproducible model of housing to change lives

The Candelarios saw firsthand how recovery homes failed people. The model that has been in place for 50 years often did more harm than help.

We said, “we can do better”.

Frank and Sherri purchase homes and created the national model that is copied around the country.

Our clients are veterans, people in recovery for substance use disorder, justice-involved, foster adults who lost housing, and women and men who desire to live in shared housing.

Our clients have one thing in common: a desire to live in a great home in a safe neighborhood and pursue a new vision of their life.

To make real change, that starts in the legislature. We helped form the Washington State affiliate (WAQRR) in 2017. Sherri has been a WAQRR Board member since inception of WAQRR.

Sherri was recently appointed to the Washington State Substance Use and Recovery Services Advisory Committee as subject matter expert on recovery housing.

Frank and Sherri are founders of Shared Housing Solutions, LLC to train and educate people all over the country to copy their model of superior shared housing that is funded by government contracts.

Frank and Sherri have trained 1000s of people in the US on our real estate model and are making societal change, one house at a time. We are experts in shared housing as we are the CEOs of our organization and manage the homes we created.

Learn how you can create a legacy of change.
