EMPOWERMENT PLAN
A Detroit-based non-profit on a mission to end the cycle of generational homelessness with the coats we make and the jobs we create! © 2010 Veronika Scott A Detroit nonprofit breaking the cycle of poverty through the jobs we create and the coats we make. We are a holistic workforce development organization addressing homelessness in two critical ways. First, we provide full-time employment and supportive services for individuals recovering from homelessness in Detroit. Second, we produce innovative sleeping bag coats, which are distributed to those who are unsheltered globally. Our mission is to employ and empower unhoused individuals to break the generational cycle of homelessness by producing a sleeping bag coat for those in need. We believe in giving second chances to those who want it, and providing warmth to those who need it.

EMPOWERMENT PLAN We provide employment and training for individuals experiencing homelessness to manufacture sleeping bag coats for those in need. At Empowerment Plan we work to produce our durable and innovative coat that transforms into a sleeping bag. This employment opportunity ensures that each person we hire is able to earn a stable income find secure housing and regain their independence. Behind the Seams in the community Sidewalk Samaritan Sidewalk Samaritan is a direct aid nonprofit made up of volunteers in New York City who provide food clothing and hygiene products to the unhoused.
