Selfless Words & Actions can Illuminate the Whole Universe
Through Poverty Solutions’ partnership with Life is Networking Knowledge and Pink Lotus Healthcare, we are able to provide a wide spectrum of health services in both residential and outpatient environments. Our services include substance abuse, addiction treatment, case management, psychiatric counseling, food distribution, and nutrition and health education. These services are available to veterans, adults, children, adolescents, and families.
Our goal is to offer a successful transition of low-income and/or homeless veterans by providing emergency and supportive housing, food, health services, occupational skills training and placement assistance, financial literacy, entrepreneurship assistance, legal aid and case management support.
According to the HUD/VA supplemental report, veterans are 50 percent more likely to become homeless compared to all Americans, and the risk is even greater among veterans living in poverty and minority veterans. Nearly half of homeless veterans were located in California, Texas, New York and Florida, while only 28 percent of all veterans were located in those same four states.
Poverty Solutions strongly encourages education, self-improvement, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-respect, personal responsibility, money management and work ethics while discouraging illegal activities and self-destructive behaviors through our Divest Poverty Workshops. Our DIVEST POVERTY workshops is the entry point for clients needing our services which address the severe hardship, depression and distress caused by current economic problems, returning veterans, a rise in business closure and unemployment in our communities. Attending the workshop helps prepare participants to: (1) (re)enter the workforce, obtain gainful and stable employment; (2) become familiar with benefits of budgeting, planning and debt management; (3) learn the benefits of education, licenses and certification; (4) learn how to utilize P-Solutions' GED-2-College Pathway to acquire needed education and secure well-paying jobs; (5) acquire and maintain affordable housing/apartments; (6) learn how to Write Resumes, Job-Search, Prepare for Job Interviews and Interview for Jobs; (7) be exposed to Entrepreneurship, Self-employment, and Business Management Skills.
