Resumen del Editor

Fortunately, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law a second round of stimulus checks for many Americans. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that unfortunately, most homeless neighbors in your community do not even know they have a check coming or how they can get theirs. More importantly, they probably don’t know how to leverage their checks to change their lives.

In the first round of 2020 stimulus, 69 percent of our homeless guests at the Warming Center in Grants Pass, Oregon, did not get their stimulus check or even know how to get theirs.

That's where we came in!

Rogue Retreat staff reached out and helped homeless guests receive over $30,000 in stimulus checks!

Even more amazing were the choices they made with spending their money:

• One hired an attorney to help with legal issues,
• Another purchased a truck he now sleeps in legally while a third pays for gas and food, and
• A fourth bought a bicycle to get to and from work while he stayed at the Kelly Shelter!

Wow! Homeless using their checks to get off the streets!

This is where you and this book come in!

With a second round of 2020 stimulus checks now available, you and your community are uniquely positioned to help your homeless get their stimulus checks - like we did -- even help them change their lives in both short-term and long-term.

If you are willing and able to reach out to the homeless in your community, don’t miss this unique opportunity before the doors close!

This book is here to help you!

Helpful and Timely

I run a small NPO that provides street outreach to unsheltered community members and home visits to those who are precariously housed. Our team read this book at the end of 2020, just before the first stimulus deadline had passed. This gave us ideas on how to help them create a spending plan and what debt they might have. We realized we needed to make a dedicated effort to get everyone signed up for the stimulus and planned a week-long event. To date, we've assisted our community members in receiving more than $40,000 in stimulus money. We also applied this thinking to those we helped with unemployment and other emergency benefits. This is a great book for small and large organizations, or even churches and individual groups.
