I'm wondering how to connect to an org? I have no kids, had a vasectomy decades ago over concerns about world population and biodiversity issues.. I keep my carbon emissions low and vote Green. Seems to me I give more fucks about a future livable planet for other peoples children then many parents do but that aside.

Anyone aware of a genuine community org that might be interested in me leaveing them my modest house and they can use it to house people ? I am guessing they'll get fucked over with stamp duty though for the title transfer, so maybe a modest sum to cover that for them as well?

Currently my will specifies everything is liquidated and then distributing the proceeds to reputable charities so, maybe that still makes more sense?

Maybe see if there is someone you can connect with in your local foster caring community. Most foster parents are long term and take many children temporarily through the years. Perhaps you could give your house to a younger fostering couple that rents currently, or put it into a trust to be used as a group home?

If you are near a hospital or cancer center, you could leave the house to be used as a place for families to stay near sick or dying loved ones.

Either way, its a beautiful thought you have, I hope you find a way to make it happen. <3
