Delta Plan

The Delta Plan

Variable Commitment Allocation Agreement

A Hybrid Economic Arrangement

A Holigent Delta Plan is a three-way agreement between participating employers, their participating employee-residents of the Holigent Community and a nonprofit developer/management organization. Economic security is achieved through the Delta Plan by maintaining balance between local and global economies. The Holigent arrangement helps generate and retain local value and wealth thus providing a “firewall” to protect participating communities against the unpredictability of the general/global economy even during recessionary times.

Plan A Normal Conditions

Under normal conditions residents’ time allocations are balanced between employment and community service according to their basic agreement. Participating residents are under an individual or collective Delta Plan. All residents participate in diverse community service based on their skills and abilities for which they earn Community Credit used to pay a portion of their rent.

Plan B Variable Conditions

During moderate economic downturns, affected residents’ commitments would be varied according to a negotiated or pre-arranged scale. Accordingly, affected companies would reduce some or all employees’ pay and/or work-hours. These employees would then work more hours in community service and pay a larger portion of their rent with earned Community Credit. This option allows employees to work for lower wages creating a competitive advantage that helps secure their job and quality of life.

Plan C Dormant Conditions

During severe economic recessions, affected employers would go into a dormant state rather than shut down. Their employees would go on unpaid furlough rather than be laid off and would be recalled when work was again available. Increased community service allows furloughed employee-residents to retain their apartments and pay most or all their rent with earned Community Credit. Participating employers, in order to avoid permanent shutdown, must be debt-free, insured, subsidized, or otherwise able to reorganize or freeze obligations to be covered for the dormant period. Delta Plans for economic recessions would preserve companies’ physical, business, and workforce assets as well as their employees’ jobs, housing and essential quality of life.
