I want to develop day time homeless shelter in Las Vegas because Las Vegas metro area has nation's fourth highest rate of homelessness. There are hundreds and thousands of homeless people live in tunnels to escape desert heat. Many people have misconceptions about homeless people that they chose to be homeless and they all use drugs and alcohol. I believe there are many homeless people who just need little of bit of support and motivation to get better and willing to change their life. Therefore my focus is to help everyone who is in need of help and support. I also believe there are many people who are willing to volunteer, sponsor and support homeless people.
