The annual report from the Coalition for the Homeless makes pretty bleak reading; Their research proves homeless shelters are now serving more people that at any time in their history.

One chilling fact shows that 22,712 children slept in a Shelter in January.

And that's just in New York.

Our project will help solve that. Perhaps not before time...

Help Us Help Them

Our project to rehouse homeless children is now moving forward.

For the last 8-months we have searched for the seed funds to make this a reality, and we found nothing but implacable disinterest and risible attempts at ID fraud.

So we’re now prepping a crowdfunding plan to raise the funding ourselves.

The project can house as many people as might need the chance, at no cost to them or the Shelters in which they might now be living. So if you know a family in need please give them this link.

We launch in April. With your help, the first clients should be in their new houses by June :)
