Duane final problem statement Unit 3

Page history last edited by duane 13 years, 4 months ago

     The Fall 2010 USF St. Petersburg Student Philanthropy Board Team Duane (USFSP SPB #3 Duane) is currently accepting proposals from non profit organizations to aid in running and maintaining a Community Homeless Center for the homeless population surrounding downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. A Community Homeless Center would  The $5,000 grant will be awarded to a non profit organization that will improve the homeless persons lives by preparing and serving nutritional food while offering basic education. The non profit that receives the grant must also follow the guidelines that USFSP SPB #3 has set. The grant provided by the USFSP SPB is composed of Federal funds and carries all Federal restrictions. See Appendix I (Prohibited Program Activities).

 

      The Community Homeless Center (CHC) will  improve the quality of life for the homeless in the area's surrounding downtown St. Petersburg by intorducing key nutrients into their diet that they are currently not receiving A CHC will also serve as a safe haven, a place where the less fortunate can go without receiving harassment. This grant will also be used to give the homeless a chance to make a difference for themselves in the future by teaching them basic vocational skills useful in the workforce. 

 

     The CHC will also offer programs to the children of the homeless. Homeless children are thrown into a terrible situation in which they have no control and are desperate for outside help. The grant will also be used to offer basic education to give the children an opportunity to be successful later in life. Not having a steady home to raise a child can cause extreme stress and discomfort for a child. Children that are raised on the streets have a lack of medical care and nutrients and are much more likely to get involved in crime at an early age (http://www.cyc-net.org/cyc-online/cycol-0904-Homelessness.html). When children walk into the Community Homeless Center they will not only be given the nutrients and education needed to be successful in their future, they will also see first hand the heights the formerly homeless have reached with hard work and a little outside help from caring people. The CHC will provide hope to all people that come through its doors because not only will it be serving the homeless people of St. Petersburg, it will also be partly run by the homeless of St. Petersburg. The Community Homeless Center will offer below minimum wage to those willing to volunteer and get involved helping with food preparation and maintenance of the building.

 

     The Community Homeless Center's purpose is to provide a feeling of security and a sense of hope for the homeless in the area surrounding USFSP. The Lead Learn and Serve program at USFSP has given student philanthropy board #3 a great opportunity to make a difference in our community, and even though there are many different projects that deserve grant money USFSP SPB #3 believes that aiding the homeless deserves priority over the other projects because of the amount of people the issue of homelessness affects. The Lead Learn and Serve program has gives SPB #3 a great opportunity to give people in need the tools to help themselves, the CHC will allow people to get their lives back on track.
