When I see abandoned buildings that need re-making, and think about how people need homes and jobs, and when I think about stimulus funds and training programs and going green, and grants and funding, I think this should all come together somehow. Will someone smarter than I please get busy?
Hi Melissa! Props for creating change on such a personal level! You may want to consider applying for grants to help fund your project. Even with the current economic weather (the universal disclaimer!), there are a lot of private funders around. I recently took a grant writing class and was really amazed at the resources. Setting yourself up as a 501(c)(3) (IRS non-profit status) might be a step in the right direction as well. This is a stretch, but perhaps you can collaborate with local agencies to get free or low cost labor, especially under the umbrella of 'training' for the folks.
Good luck & God bless!
