"I am Master Bao-Dur."
You hear her breath hitch, and you already know to expect after-- 'Shadow maker', 'world killer', murderer. It tends to be all that the core--
"The Savior of Telos?" And the wind is out of your sails and your fury, the anger of ten noxious years, dies in a moment and a weight you have been carrying for decades, which has been your companion even since before the general found you, since the training began and you made the first step on the Jedi path and away from wrath, does not dissipate but it shifts, it moves, distributes itself to places where you are strong rather than still rubbing against the places which are weak.
"Yes. That Bao-Dur."
"Well. It is a pleasure to meet you, Master Jedi. But I am afraid I have mixed news." She folds her hands in front of her, shadowing her eyes. "To be blunt, the Senate has conflicted feelings about the order at this point. On the one hand, of course, Revan saved us--twice. From the Mandalorians, and from Malak. And so did the Exile, from what Admiral Onasi told me.
On the other hand, Malak and the Sith were born from Revan and his teachings-- and the Exile carried out crimes for him, was his hatchetman, and that rubbed off on her. And of course, there are plenty in the Senate who see the lack of Jedi as an opportunity to grow our own military.
I want to work with the Jedi. I want things never again to fall to the point that they did in the Mandalorian Wars-- I want the Republic to have her protectors, and I want those protectors to be as strong as possible. But I cannot help nearly as much as I would like.
As a show of good faith however, I can help you reclaim one headquarters or another.
The Temple on Coruscant has become a squatter town, residents having fled there-- still remembering the good the Jedi did, they head there for protection. It would take time to rehouse them, clothe them, feed them, move them-- and money, too, plenty of credits which are in distressingly short supply at the moment. But it would be a symbol, I think, to the rest of the Galaxy if you were to reclaim that place.
On the other hand, the Enclave at Dantooine would not require nearly so much effort. Really, all we'd need to do is buy off the Salvagers, and then get to work actually rebuilding. The people of Dantooine might need a little coaxing, but after all you did to save their hides, I think we can convince them."
[] Reclaim the Coruscant Temple. The most important site to the modern Jedi Order, a bastion of the order-- plus you've always wanted to have an entire floor to yourself. Standing in the Core Worlds, all the galaxy will know, soon enough, that the order is reborn-- and all will be well.(Vigilance requirements for Core Worlds reduced, bonus to engagement)
[] Reclaim the Dantooine Enclave. Your order consists of six people, maybe seven if you can pin Bastila down at some point, and at a really hard stretch eight, if you manage to find the Padawan who the General spoke to earlier. You do not need all the space of a whole Temple yet, and in some ways you think standing in the Outer Rim will be good for you. And it will make it easier for this rebuilt order to locate Force sensitives from the Outer Rim. (Vigilance requirements for the Outer Rim reduced, bonus to recruitment)

Sorry this is a bit late.
Going to edit out the Hanharr thing and add in a mechanics post under the OP while this vote is going on.
