Greetings,

This proposal for funding is proposed by those of us formerly homeless in Denver, Colorado.

Warm Hearts Denver is a unique project designed to assist homeless, and their supports (emergency services, volunteers, staff and the general concerned public) in times of winter hardship and emergenies in Denver, CO.

Warm Hearts Denver is a non-profit, community collaborative initiative that will alert homeless people of impending weather conditions that would threaten their health, well being and safety.

They would then be directed to several areas in the city where they could receive, clothing, food, shelter, transportation and emergency services as well as access to local resources to get them on their way to permanent housing.

An app will be the primary operational platform that needs to be developed.

There is an active outreach component in which volunteer teams go and seek out those who can't find us. They operate in non emergency conditions too.

This is done in hopes to significantly reduce injury and death due to exposure. It's media components designed to alert, protect and raise awareness. It's educational components to increase awareness of housing resources. It's outreach components seek all of the above.

This is a pilot project designed to be replicated.

A Matching fundraiser is also on the drawing board.

Sincerely,

Jason Lawandales Warm Hearts Denver: From Yours to Theirs r/WarmHeartsDenver
