Project purpose: This project will continue to restore dignity to more Flint marginalized people who are sleeping on floors, especially children, through a good night’s sleep by delivering more free beds and bedding using delivery trucks. Serving a population of an estimated 15,000 people in Genesee County, mostly children, currently without a bed to sleep in.
Details of Proposed Project: The grant would provide the seed money to build a 40-foot by 60-foot pole barn to provide protected parking for delivery trucks. The pole barn will keep the trucks secure and safe from vandalism as well as on-site storage of mattresses, box springs, and bed frames.
