I could easily see a scenario where someone shows up with no money, gets the land, then can't pay taxes and other bills and has to sell it.

They would have to show that they want, and can afford to live there at least 10 years.  -my emphasis-  . Affording to live there can be from their own resources, ongoing employment, or from a solid plan to make money from the property in a way that's in line with the ethics of the initial owner (me). Having a plan would benefit the PEPer too.

I'm not tossing cold water on this process. I find it's better to think through all the facets before making a move as big as this so that it succeeds. Unintended consequences are a real issue. With this type of ownership transfer, I can easily see myself as an Otis this path. ...And I now have the free time to help them succeed.

I see this is a couple of years old and hope it had grown since then.

My name is Saria I am a business owner and farmer my whole life.  I have moved to the Wisconsin area to build a cut flower farm and outdoor class too. For children teens and families seeking mental health support my father is a mental health and coaching. Me as a farmer want to bridge the two and create a earth healing space where people can come na reset there nervous system with farm life and community connection. I was raised with 50+ goats and a big garden. I want to take it to a new level with cut flowers and madicinal herbs. And classes. I have a business plan and some money saved for initial start up cost but finding land with trusted people seems to be my challenge. I am ideally looking to create community this is a big vision and many hands make life a home.

I have been working for the elderly my whole life as a side job, I see many who just want to share there stories and hand down tebre knowledge. I would love this opportunity and or a collaboration in some form to grow this beautiful space.

I read through many of the comments and didn't see how to get onto the main sit to apply or do an application. If I could get some direction  as to the next steps I would be in deep gratitude.

Hi Saria, it sounds like you're looking for land.  If that's the case, you would need to start doing the BBs to earn the interest of someone with land.  Here are the basics: All about SKIP/PEP

Hello 👋 I am a mother to two young boys . My name is Alex . And I am here to see if I could possible inherit someone’s land by the grace of God . I’m sober and come from a long line of people who didn’t pass me down any grace. I have managed my life so far all on my own , without caring parents or family to help, I have a small savings . And i have a love for This planet unlike most people . I currently live in a big city and my dream is to move somewhere away from all the chaos. I know this isn’t what this site is for and maybe I won’t get anywhere, but it doesn’t hurt to try . Peace and blessings 💕
