Abstract
The Potlatch Offering™ is a sovereign housing model that converts vacant condominiums into trust-held, rent-free homes sustained by royalties, licensing, and regenerative infrastructure. Rooted in the Potlatch tradition of wealth circulation, this framework addresses Vancouver’s dual crisis of empty condos and housing insecurity by transforming speculation into sovereignty. Instead of rewarding hoarding, it channels authored IP into fiat, acquires condos outright, and circulates them back to communities under trust governance.

- Aligns housing with Indigenous wealth circulation traditions.
