Introducing the Shanti Homelessness Relief Project
Established in October 2024, the Shanti Homelessness Relief Project was created out of our founder Satine Queeni's perspective of inequality in the world. Whilst services available to homeless individuals include temporary housing, shelter, restrooms, showers, meals, transportation, addictions/mental health counseling, job training and case management, it is not enough and homeless individuals could still greatly use your help. Here is how you can help the homeless in your community in small yet effective ways.
