Last week, my poverty group and I interviewed Stacy Cedano. Stacy works at Homebase. Homebase helps you stay out of a shelter. Homebase offers a range of services under one roof, including services to prevent eviction, assistance for obtaining public benefits, job placement assistance, financial counseling and money management, help relocating and short-term financial assistance. Homebase helps you create a plan to overcome any housing crisis. Homebase works with people who are low income and they are willing to make a positive change for the future.  A lot of people don’t know what homeless people’s skills are. Poverty actually started in 2005 when Bloomberg was mayor. Homebase has 11 offices throughout the 5 burrows. They provide assistance to get help. Most of the people that come to Homebase get what they need. Stacy wants her organization to help get around, so homeless people know where to call. They have great connections to get jobs with whatever skills you have. They recommended us to some really great events and organizations that we will try to make happen!
