Betty Chinn outreach project…building organizational capacity

This project explores capacity building in the form of grant writing, donations and building community awareness through education for the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation. The Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation is a local non-profit organization that addresses issues of homelessness by providing street outreach in the form of: meals, case-management, stabilization services, children's programs, transitional housing and many other services designed to meet the needs of the local homeless population. This project will be conducted in collaboration with the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation to assess the needs of the homeless community in Humboldt County. The homeless population in Humboldt County has an under met need for food, personal hygiene supplies and other vital day to day necessities. This project will complete three grant proposals designed to address the needs of the homeless population. The grant proposals will open up further networking and grant opportunities. Ecological systems theory will be utilized in driving the theoretical framework for this project.
