Swellcaster Spontaneous Spotlight : Helping the Unhoused Budget for their future

article image placeholder@LeftSideTheater
You help them do some budgets, and I want to know if that's your job. You mentioned that your job. I want to learn more about the work you do, where you do it, how you got into it, and what you're seeing in terms of some positive news for us to see people moving from being unhoused to being housed and what's that process like, specifically your area

Hi Danny! Thanks for jumping in - https://s.swell.life/STDytq7xvb62lGE @LeftSideTheater

And they get to a point where they are encouraged to start looking for work. We help them, we provide the resources. By this point of the program, we have already looked at their resume. We made the adjustments, we enhanced their resume, we rebuilt their resume. If they never had one, we've created one from scratch form, and they are now ready. So they worked through these various phases of the program and worked themselves up as a Psy, worked themselves up to the park

So definitely not my strong it's not a strong suit of mine. However, I approach it just from a very basic approach, and I look at it, I break it down in just a simple context, and I look at it as if this were me or if this was my son or my father or somebody that I love. What advice could I give them financially? And I do know that if you get a $500 check, you need to save that money

Or it could be as complicated as somebody who just has a lifetime of drug abuse and has some really severe family issues that they're going to need some real professional help with. So it gets complicated, but essentially, basically for the last 15 minutes, what I've been trying to explain, what I do is I just walk through life a portion of these guys'lives, while they're experiencing homelessness, in that transitionary period from being homeless to reestablishing themselves in life
