Solutions for Change is on a mission to solve family homelessness
permanently-not contain it or manage the symptoms. They differ from the traditional containment
model that offers short-term shelter, food handouts, and other Band –Aids that
perpetuate rather than solve the problem. They provide a hand up not a hand
out.
Lives are being rewritten as a result and they are breaking the
cycle of homelessness for generations to come. They do this through a 1,000 day
program that equips their participants with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to gain and maintain physical, mental, and
financial health. Their work in our community is making a real impact. You might be amazed to know that of those who graduate from their program, there is a 93% success
rate! They have solved family homelessness since 1999 in San Diego County for 850 families and
2,200 children.
They also have a unique and innovative enterprise that uses
their Aquaponics Farm to generate income for the programs by selling the lettuce
to the local schools and restaurants and also provides job training. Teaching
the parents in the program to get up, suit up, and show up. These are just a few
reasons my family has decided to partner with Solutions For Change! You can check them out
at Solutions For Change and maybe you would like to partner with them too?
