New Nonprofit Foundation Aims to Help the Homeless

Why This New Program Will Be Unique

• A new nonprofit foundation, formed by several
  local businessmen, aims to help the homeless
  population in any way it can. In particular, the
  foundation will focus on finding shelter and food
  for those living on the streets or in abandoned
  buildings or garages. The leader of the
  organization said that although many people might
  think of homelessness as an urban problem, its
  also prevalent in rural areas like the one where
  this foundation will be based. The organization
  intends to run ads and make announcements on the
  radio to recruit volunteers willing to give out
  food and toiletries to people who need them most.

To provide comprehensive support for those who
need it most, many nonprofits end up serving more
than one group at a time. But theres an inherent
problem with that approach Each homeless person
is unique, so trying to deliver services and
support through a general plan is nearly
impossible. The new nonprofit foundation aims to
combat these issues head-on by delivering
one-on-one support and specialized resources
tailored specifically for each individual.

What Are They Going To Do?

• This will allow them to focus on what works best
  for their clients, ultimately helping them reach
  their full potential. The inspiration behind
  starting a new nonprofit Although homelessness
  can happen to anyone, individuals living in
  poverty often face some of the greatest
  challenges when attempting to get back on their
  feet.
• Thats why decided to start their nonprofit
  organizationshe was motivated by a desire to
  make a difference in peoples lives. We had seen
  firsthand how difficult it was for people living
  in poverty to access necessities like food and
  shelter and wanted to change that. By
  establishing our organization, we hoped could
  help others rise above their circumstances and
  achieve greater success.

The nonprofit, planned, hopes to ease some of the
burden currently facing other organizations in
the city by addressing three key areas emergency
services, shelter, and housing. The organization
wants a comprehensive approach that addresses
homelessness on all fronts.

Who Is Behind It?

• They hope their efforts will help stop people
  from falling into homelessness and improve living
  conditions for those who are currently without a
  home. By creating new shelters, they also hope to
  reduce strain on existing ones while also
  creating additional beds. They plan to increase
  housing options with permanent supportive units
  and other long-term solutions like job training
  programs or mental health care. Finally, they
  want to create an emergency response team that
  can provide basic needs like food and water while
  connecting homeless individuals with longer-term
  resources they need.

The average life expectancy of a homeless person.
In other words, many of those on our streets are
unable to receive necessary health care and
treatment. These conditions lead directly to
higher mortality rates. An organization dedicated
to providing necessary medical and social
services needed by homeless individuals. Were
giving them a better chance at living a long and
healthy life.

Why does it matter?

• Each year in New York City, many people become
  homeless. Many suffer from chronic illnesses such
  as diabetes or hypertension others suffer from
  mental illness or substance abuse issues. Yet
  fewer than one-third of these people receive
  proper healthcare each year. On top of that,
  nearly half live in overcrowded housingwhich
  often puts their health and safety at riskand
  fewer than 20 percent have access to adequate
  food resources. By giving them access to quality
  healthcare, we can help improve their lives now
  while also working toward making NYC a healthier
  place for everyone who calls it home.
