I'm so happy to see this place get attention. I've worked closely with them and the work they do... It's incredible.

I got really lucky last year when I was contacted — through @catchafire — by the Product Development Coordinator at the Downtown Women's Center . They wanted me to collaborate with them to develop a design and illustration based on their theme ��Dream in Color” for their @madebydwc product line. The designs just came out this summer and couldn't be happier with the final results. Honored and humbled for having the opportunity to work with them and helped with this project. Please visit their website at madebydwc.org to buy this and other beautiful products they have while helping a great cause. From the madebydwc.org website: “The Downtown Women’s Center, founded in 1978, is the first and only organization in Los Angeles focused exclusively on serving and empowering women experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless women. In 2011, MADE by DWC was launched offering women the opportunity to earn income while gaining job skills and experience. Women are employed within the social enterprise and attend skill-development workshops while receiving additional employment support services. Through this innovative approach, we continue to help women develop skills and gain the experience needed to find employment to support their transition out of homelessness."

Homelessness in America: Focus on Youth

41,000 Unaccompanied Youth Experienced Sheltered and Unsheltered Homelessness in January 2017 Homelessness in America: Focus on Youth shares data insights on unaccompanied youth homelessness, patterns of homelessness among youth experiencing homelessness, and risk factors that are associated with youth homelessness. The report released by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) utilizes a series of data sources such as the 2017 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, the U.S. Department of Education school district data, Homelessness Management and Information System Data, and literature review to provide a comprehensive overview of homelessness among youth and young adults in the U.S. According to the report, approximately 41,000 unaccompanied youth were experiencing sheltered and un-sheltered homelessness in January 2017. Young adults are more likely to experience un-sheltered homelessness as opposed to adults. Unaccompanied youth are also more likely to “couch surf” (staying for a brief period with a friend and family members). The 2015-2016 school year data showed a 25% increase in the number of students experiencing homelessness from the 2013-2014 school year. Students experiencing homelessness were more likely to have low performance in school and tended to have negative experiences while attending school. Youth fall into homelessness for many reasons such as: Read the full article

Today marks my eighth year of escaping attempted murder from my abusive ex. I left and became homeless. This is me. I stayed on the move and found a haven in parks and strange and safe places behind buildings and alleyways. I photographed every small, beautiful thing I could. I survived. ☝🏼 #freedom #endhomelessness #narcissisticabuse #homelessnessawareness #cancersurvivor #abusesurvivor #homelessness #abuse #survivor #emotionalabuse #happyanniversary #survivors #endinghomelessness #domesticabuse #narcissisticabusesurvivor #anniversary#attemptedmurder #domesticviolence #DisabilityPride #DisabledinSTEM #spooniestrong #sunglassesstyle #Fighter #abusiverelationship #crisismanagement www.hannahcrazyhawk.com (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgBNIhHrrEV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We just begun our #EradicatingStreetChildren In Ghana campaign - Transforming the lives of #Homeless children we usually find on the streets of Accra and Ghana as a whole. - What we aim to achieve is to move every street or homeless child from the street. - We found it life #threatening, unhealthy, dangerous and disheartening to allow street-ism to grow rampantly without finding remedies to stop or control it. - As a #discover to #recover foundation, it's our duty to safeguard the lives of socially deprived ones. It's also our responsibility to transform their lives by teaching them the way to go and how to fish to raise their standard of living. - We seek the support of corporate entities, organizations, religious groups and individuals to join us and make good things happen. - #endinghomelessness #eradicatingstreetchildren #endingstreetchildren #endinghomlessnessinghana #EradicatingStreetChildrenInGhana #deprived #fundraising #streetchild #streetchildren #BenabiDiscovery #DiscoverToRecoverfoundation (at Accra, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWzi3IJTgI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zvl07y2qlagf

Teenage Girls Invent Solar-Powered Tent for Homeless

“If your parents miss X amount of bills, you can fall into homelessness, too." High School students growing in the Los Angeles suburb of San Fernando and attending San Fernando High School see an increasing number of people experiencing homelessness living outside. Mashable recently reported “How 12 teens invented a solar-powered tent for the homeless.” “People live on a main thoroughfare near the school, at a nearby park, and below the off-ramps and bridges in her hometown of San Fernando, which is about 20 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. In the San Fernando Valley, homelessness increased 36% to 7,094 people last year, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Agency's annual count. Daniela (Orozco) and her friends wanted to help, but giving money wasn’t an option.” The girls themselves are part of low-income families without the means to give or donate money to those experiencing homelessness and in need.  Instead, the girls invented a solar-powered tent that rolls up into a backpack.  What is probably most impressive is that “The girls and 10 others from their high school had never done any hands-on engineering work before, but with the help of YouTube, Google, and trial-and-error, they got it done.” Next June, the girls will be honored for their inventing and “do it yourself” skills and have the opportunity to share the tent” at MIT as part of a young inventors conference. The teens, none of whom had coded, soldered, sewn, or 3D-printed before they joined forces, won a $10,000 grant from the Lemelson-MIT Program to develop the invention.” DIY Girls, a nonprofit that teaches girls from low-income communities about engineering, math, and science, to go after the grant recruited the female students. The girls came together to not only invent the tent but also to create close friendships among themselves.  Some among the 12 girls will be the first in their families to go to college. "I knew I wanted to apply for it, but I needed a team," says Evelyn Gomez, 29, the executive director of DIY Girls. "I went back to my calculus teacher at my high school and did a hands-on recruitment activity." Coming from low-income families, the girls know all too well, how fine the line between having a home and becoming homeless can be.  "Because we live here, we see it growing constantly. If your parents miss X amount of bills, you can fall into homelessness, too." Maggie Mejia says of the homeless population and how For her, it even hits close to home How 12 teens invented a solar-powered tent for the homeless Read the full article

#Repost @bethechangeyyc Yesterday (August 15th) was very smokey, but the homeless appreciated the water for their dry throats. We helped 200+ homeless individuals handing out sandwiches, bottled water, granola bars, pastries (Cinnamon buns, Scones, Danishes) tooth brushes, tooth paste, and resource guides. Our homeless always express such gratitude for what we do. One guy sang us a song as thanks, last week one donated a beautiful piece of Indigenous Art Work he had made, which we donated to the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary (picture included below). One thing we are always reminded of is our homeless's skills & talents that often go forgotten. We love to show case them and will continue to show case them on our posts. Thanks to @veginyyc for your donation of 120 bottles of Water for this event. Thanks also to @evasita_s for your donation of 48 bottles of Water. Special thanks also goes out to Nicole Marshall-Timmerman & family for your donation to help with this event. Thanks also goes to @mainvilledeb for all your support & prep for this event. Thanks to the team members who could make it out, Wanda Hartman-Trytten, Matthew Dorie, Barb Reid, and Chaz Smith. Are you a community member who would like to donate or volunteer? Please keep us in mind and send us a message. We are always looking for more committed volunteers to join our team in a bi weekly bases. If you have a business or would like to donate, we are always in need of more bottles of water, and snacks like cookies or granola bars, please don't be shy, send us a message. #BeTheChangeYYC #HelpingOthers #GivingBack #IamYYC #LoveYYC #EndingHomelessness #CommunityMatters #AffordableHousing #IamDowntown #OutreachTeam #BTC #BeTheChange #GoodNeighbor #CityOfCalgary (at Calgary, Alberta)
