Nuggets:
- You’re not going to end homelessness worldwide. Don’t do nothing because you can’t do everything.
- Sometimes a non-profit model opens more doors for those who want to invest in a project.
Action Steps:
- Interview homeless people, social workers, and shelter employees to qualitatively understand this problem
- Read The State of Homelessness in America to quantitatively understand this problem
- Understand sources of funding, like HUD in the US or benefactors that have overcome homelessness themselves.
- Contact the founder of Samaritan and ask to pick his brain
- Learn how typical homeless shelters are financed
- Start small - determine how to best help a handful of people
