Giving Hope Inc. is a nonprofit organization registered and operates in the United States. It works with vulnerable communities within the suburb regions to uplift the living standard of people. Over the last decade, it has worked with various partners to provide services to the community and therefore, its core objectives are to support the needy people in our society. The organization has various programs to address the issue of homelessness including the long term and the short term program. The long term program is for the people who are homeless, and they require assistance to support themselves. They are provided with shelter until they save an adequate amount of money and the organization will assist them in attaining affordable housing. The short term program is for individuals who have little money not enough to cover their everyday expenses and rent.

The grant is meant to help the organization to provide needed services to the communities. It will help the organization to provide shelter, food, counselor to support the family to meet their basic needs. Therefore, the grant is meant to fund the initiative of the provision of shelter to the homeless people through the Giving Hope Inc. I have found various opportunities, and the reason for this is because homelessness has become a principal problem in America. Many people are being evacuated from their houses for failing to pay rent because of lack of proper budgeting of their funds. Reducing homelessness in society has been of main concern among people and therefore, the grant will give many Americans the opportunity to restart their lives and live a decent life in a decent house.

The main problem which affects the community is a high number of homeless people on the street. It has been established that almost 10% of Americans are kicked out of street annually and the number is projected to continue to increase. The rate of school dropout in Texas, Denton region is high. Research conducted established that the high rate of dropout is as a result of lack of mentorship and school feel for most students. It is also as a result of lack of proper nurturing and therefore, several students drop out of school as a result of drug and other peer group influence. A study conducted by Giving Hope indicates that Denton region has a high rate of poverty, teen pregnancy and other social problem such as drug abuse. These result in a high rate of school dropout and therefore, reduce the living standard of several young people in the society. Without proper and efficient problem the problem could become a big issue and therefore, it is important for the organization to work together with the community and state government to provide a permanent and temporary solution. Research indicates that 10% of school going girls involves premature sex and 20% 10% of school girls get pregnant annually.

Giving Hope Inc believes the solution to the problem is the formation of a mentorship program, provision of the house for the homeless and providing food to the needy people. However, forming a mentor group system in collaboration with community centers would be essential in addressing the deficit in society. The organization, therefore, intend to work with schools, community centers, and parents to address the issues by establishing a strong network, which can allow issues to reported and working together with several mentor groups to address the problem the community is facing. The goal of the project is to create a better environment for people and address the problem being faced by the residents permanently. The total budget for the project is $202,540, which will be used to finance the budget in every stage.
