We lack any formal training and have very little understanding of the grant process, we seek your assistance.

We look forward in time to when we can support other groups by sharing our information with them, and as much new information as we can obtain would be greatly appreciated.
Self Assessment:
The investment of our time in the beginning stages in studding this process of understanding the complexities of homelessness has led us to believe that there is little attention by society to react to this problem on an effective basis, which leads to little intervention on the part of governmental agencies that have entitlement programs available to address this national disaster. We have come to conclude that not one child ever wanted to grow up to be broke hungry sick friendless and homeless.
