Introduction
Published figures show that over 14,000 people sleep rough on the streets of Cape Town, we know this number is much likely to be much higher and since COVID-19 resources show a huge spike in homelessness.
Report
A phased program that starts from Step 1 providing basic needs and change-readiness, moving to step 2 that is our drug and alcohol rehabilitation stage and then finally moving to step 3 that is skills and employment training for residence. Graduates from the programme leave the programme by looking for and securing an independent job. With the rise in homelessness since the pandemic, we have also seen a need for a new shelter to assist and provide training to an increased number of individuals. We have managed to raise $428 so far but still have a long way to go to reach our target. $15 will provide skills training for one person for one month.
