DRAFT: working doc 2
EXODUS II / NEW FRONTIER 2
What if leadership actually fixed something?
Homelessness is no longer a marginal social issue.
It is a national security, civic stability, and workforce crisis — and the status quo is failing.
With the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games approaching, the world will be watching how America responds.
EXODUS II / New Frontier 2 presents a national, execution-ready strategy to resolve chronic homelessness with order, accountability, economic return, and moral clarity.
Who Is Ted Hayes
Ted Hayes is a Los Angeles–based civil rights and homelessness-resolution advocate with over 40 years of lived and operational experience addressing America’s most entrenched urban crises.
Unlike traditional “awareness” speakers, Hayes presents solutions grounded in responsibility, structure, and measurable outcomes.
-
Lived 8 years on Los Angeles’ Skid Row by choice, studying the system from the inside
-
Pioneer of Dome Village, one of the nation’s earliest transitional housing models
-
Contributor to early HUD and LAHSA Continuum of Care frameworks
-
Longstanding advocate for moving beyond temporary relief toward restoration and accountability
This is not theory.
This is execution informed by sacrifice.
What Is EXODUS II
EXODUS II / New Frontier 2 reframes homelessness as a leadership and governance issue, not a permanent social condition.
It is an investment-driven national strategy, designed to deliver:
-
Public order without cruelty
-
Workforce development and economic return
-
Institutional accountability
-
Legacy impact for leaders, cities, and organizations
Central to the strategy is activating existing federal authority — including the still-latent powers of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) under direct presidential jurisdiction — in partnership with civic, corporate, faith, and law-enforcement leadership.
Why This Matters Now
-
Billions have been spent with no accountable outcomes
-
Urban instability threatens economic growth and civic trust
-
The 2028 Olympics create a once-in-a-generation forcing moment
-
Leadership will be remembered — for action or avoidance
EXODUS II offers a path forward that aligns compassion with command and faith with action.
