No one is exempt from Homlessnessness; people are one check away from homelessness.
According to News, “In the Milwaukee metro area, a renter would need to make about $19 per hour to afford the rent and utilities on a modest market-priced, two-bedroom apartment on a 40-hour workweek, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a nonprofit aimed at decreasing homelessness for low-income people. In Madison, that number is over $23 per hour. The state’s minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.”
Milwaukee County and other companies are working together to provide the homeless population with a home rather than shelter for one night. Grants for homes and educational programs are available to the homeless population.

Homelessness is everywhere, but if you want to prevent homelessness and help the population move from shelter to the owner, you or your company can do the following.
For Christmas 2022, if you want to go above and beyond your Christmas budget, build a tiny house for a homeless person. Build the small home yourself or in collaboration with your company. For more detailed information, please read ginuwinesqueennewsrelease.com article on Helping the Homeless.
