Statistics about homelessness

In 2008, 19 cities reported a 12% increase in homelessness out of 25 cities surveyed. There are approximately between 2.3 and 3.5 million homeless people in the U.S according to a study in 2008.58% were in homeless shelters, 42 were not.

Mission

Our goal is to provide the homeless an opportunity to better themselves and the community permanently. After going through our program, our goal is for them to leave with the proper job skills to carry with them in the working world.

Vision

We strive to provide 30 homeless people each semester with a temporary job at the university, and then send them off into the working world prepared to be able to keep a job and be successful in life. If our initial project works at Texas, we hope to use this same program and implement it into several other universities in the United States.

University of Texas

Company overview

H.E.L.P provides homeless people with temporary employment, housing, and food through the University of Texas, and in return the homeless will clean the surrounding area in the University until the semester is over. H.E.L.P is based in Austin Texas.Work with Recycle Bank to make sure they collect all the recyclables and pay the homeless the proper amount.

Problems solved

H.E.L.P. is a project that not only shelters the homeless, but it also helps the local environmentThe main problems that are being solved are the problem of unemployment, homelessness, and waste build up in communityWe do this by sheltering the homeless, and employing the unemployed to clean up the messes that affect the local ecosystem

5 meals a week at campus dining hall for 30 people would be a little over $24,000. 15 2 person rooms would cost $15,000, Includes sleeping area and bathroom. T-shirt and shorts for all 30 people would be $750.

If our company is to expand, we have to see success over a five year time period. If success is shown, then we plan on expanding our model to several other universities throughout the U.S.
