I guess it would be possible that communities would act in this way, but I don't think it is probable. Two good examples are Habitat for Humanity and Extreme Home Makeover. In both cases, large numbers of people volunteer their time/effort and expect no "return on their investment" other than the fulfillment of doing service.
Speaking of Extreme Home Makeover, that would be a great way to fund the project: make the program into a TV show. Advertising would provide the funding, thus removing any push for the community to get a return on their "investment." I know capitalism usually gets a bad wrap, but the ability to "pass the buck" on to corporations in this way sure is a plus.
Also, making the change from the current form of welfare would be straightforward. After learning what there is to learn from the relocated Katrina victims, a few pilot programs could be opened and then expanded from there. The bigger the program gets, the more money the government saves.
