----JOSE A. LOPEZ FOUNDER OF H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A.

WHAT IS H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A.?

H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. is a project based in Bronx New York founded by Jose A. Lopez & Starworks Productions Inc. AKA Starworks Entertainment Group International.  Its purpose is to house programs that help the community and especially the youth world wide.

The H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. project is a subsidiary of People Uplifting People In Life Inc.,  a non profit charity organization based in Atlanta Georgia.

The H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. center's core concept is to develop and create a top quality, state of the art environment that will be a cross-fertilization of highly qualified teachers in alliance with a roster of successful companies in the media, entertainment, health, community development, youth development, computer technology, Business fields, etc as well as other key strategic alliances to cater to youth and the community needs so that they both thrive and become successful in life .

·     Project: H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. is a facility designed so that young people and young adults can have a fighting chance against the negative elements that can entice them into being destructive statistics while at the same time give a base for the community at large to thrive.

·      Project H.O.M.E/.C.A.S.A. is a facility designed to also close the gaps between private industries and charities so that together they can serve and “Give Back” to the grassroots community. In particular, to help youth and young adults to lead productive and positive lives through using music, art and other disciplines and programs.

·      Project H.O.M.E/.C.A.S.A. is a manifestation of all the good that the world has to offer in one state of the art multiservice complex called H.O.M.E/.C.A.S.A (“House Of Mental Edification”-“Center for Culture, Art & Social Awareness) or as it is affectionately called “Boogie Boulevard” or  “11-22 Boogie Woogie Avenue”    

·     To give back to the community through programs that will provide tools and vehicles for the community to thrive, on many levels such as educationally, socially, financially, etc.

·     To give youth a deterrent and alternatives to negative elements of the streets though music and the arts.

·     To give young performing and non-performing artists in the community the opportunity to be recognized for their talents and to put them to good use.

 This type of program and its design is a great vehicle to those who are willing to invest in providing real choices for those youth and adults to lead productive lives and helping the community. Also it will greatly and positively impact the social, political, ethnic and other issues facing our society and the globe.

MEETING 1985 AT THE RESIDENCE OF

JOSE LOPEZ. EXCERPTS OF MR. LOPEZ'S ADDRESS TO THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. AND TO INVITED GUEST EDUCATORS:

 "We believe that young people will be less likely to get into the troubles that the streets entices them with, if they are given a lot more choices of what to do with their lives" "Therefore, members of the H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. project will create an atmosphere of a safe haven for young people and young adults, that speaks their language and adheres to the total needs of a growing mind, but will not neglect to expose young people to the realistic perspectives of chance and risks involved in the different types of situations". 

“......Paint a picture in your mind of a center, that is filled with state of the art equipment, and a professional and caring staff especially designed to nurturing a young person's imagination”.  

“......Paint a picture in your mind of a center, which captures the excitement of young people's cultures.  The colors, The sounds, The music, The language”.

“......Paint a picture in your mind of a center, where young people and young adults from all over the world, could learn from one another about subjects and issues that interest them the most”.

“......Paint a picture in your mind of a center, where young people can come away with not just an experience that will last them a lifetime, but marketable skills and a finished portfolio, that they will use well into there adult years”.

 "With your help we will build a mini college/Lincoln Center, type center etc.. (paint a picture in your mind if you would) that would not be your average hum-drum academic traditional learning institution, but an interactive and fun place to learn, and a fun place to be. This place is called H.O.M.E./C.A.S.A. (The House of Mental Edification- Center for Culture, Art & Social Awareness) or as it is affectionately called "Boogie Boulevard"

"We all want a better world, and the future will bring it"  "Believe it or not, today's and tomorrow's youth is that future"  "So let's start with them, and maybe tomorrow will be a better day"..
