peer-operated respite

Honu Home

A peer-operated Nebraska respite for people with mental-health, substance-use, trauma, and justice-system experience after incarceration or supervision. Honu Home scores well because the institution is less hostile to people with weak bargaining power and the model leaves more value with stakeholders, though person-dependent governance and identity capture still limits the evaluation.

Why this matters: Honu Home is a specialized peer-operated respite for people leaving coercive correctional systems.

Penalties

Penalty	Applied	Why this penalty
Reversibility ? Applied when positive conduct depends on current living leaders, founders, family owners, or other person-contingent governance rather than durable structure. Range: -5 to 0.	-5	Honu Home's favorable conduct depends on public funding, program policy, nonprofit governance, or current peer-program practice rather than locked affected-stakeholder ownership. Honu Home's favorable conduct depends on public funding, program policy, nonprofit governance, or current peer-program practice rather than locked affected-stakeholder ownership. That warrants a severe Reversibility penalty because favorable conduct depends on current people or discretionary leadership rather than locked stakeholder structure.

Anti-Scapegoating Culture ? Credit for documented non-punitive practices that prevent scapegoating, mobbing, and isolate-and-expel dynamics.
