the h.h.p - hero housing program - is a new initiative created by the country's safety and defense assocation. in order to keep the identities of their heroes secret and secure, yet hidden in plain sight, the hero housing program seeks to place a hero within the home of a civilian. the hero and the civilian are to live together, and while the hero continues their normal duties to protect the country, the civilian acts as a foil to those trying to find the hero. the civilian is tasked with keeping the hero's identity a secret, as well as creating a space for the hero to return to and live safely. civilians are picked randomly and are visited by members of the s&d assocation with an offer, and if they refuse, their memory is wiped of the encounter in order to keep the program top secret. those who agree to house a hero know very well the potential danger they are signing up for, but there is also protection in having someone with superpowers there to defend you and your home. it's a double-edged sword, but one that the assocation feels is necessary.
