Ted Hayes – EXODUS II / New Frontier 2
EXODUS II: New Frontier 2 is a national homelessness resolution strategy aligned with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games—designed not as temporary relief, but as a measurable, executable plan with moral clarity, economic return, and legacy impact.
Ted Hayes is a Los Angeles–based civil rights and homelessness-resolution advocate with more than four decades of lived and operational experience addressing America’s most entrenched urban crises. Unlike traditional awareness speakers, Hayes presents solutions rooted in accountability, order, and human dignity—informed by both policy engagement and personal sacrifice.
For eight years, Hayes intentionally lived on the sidewalks of Los Angeles’ Skid Row, not as a victim, but as a witness—studying the system from the inside. That experience informed his leadership in pioneering efforts such as Dome Village and participation in HUD and LAHSA’s early Continuum of Care initiatives, helping shape models that moved beyond emergency shelter toward stabilization and restoration.
EXODUS II reframes homelessness as a national leadership and security issue, not a permanent social condition. It is structured as an investment-driven strategy, capable of producing economic returns, workforce development, public order, and long-term legacy outcomes for participating institutions and leaders.
Central to EXODUS II is the strategic use of existing federal authority—particularly the still-latent powers of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) under direct presidential jurisdiction—combined with civic, faith, corporate, and law-enforcement collaboration.
Hayes connects every strategic element of EXODUS II to real-world application: from workforce mobilization through a Domestic Peace Corps, to demographic realities shaping urban instability, to the moral responsibility of leadership in what remains a professed Christian nation—where faith must be demonstrated through action.
With the world watching toward the 2028 Olympics, Hayes presents EXODUS II as a once-in-a-generation opportunity:
to restore order without cruelty,
to offer compassion with accountability,
and to leave tomorrow’s children a nation that chose courage over neglect.
