  1. Hi Ethan, thanks for sharing an article. Reading this article, I have to say I was disgusted in reading how the city has mapped out the areas. It dehumanizes those that are homeless as if they should just be discarded. It is so much more than Miami having a large homeless community. Humanity needs to be restored as a whole, not just one person fighting to get these people back on their feet.

  2. Hey Ethan,
    This is a very interesting article concerning the city of Miami's homeless population and the funding behind the situation. After reading over the article, an opportunity I foresaw was the involvement of a third-party consultant organization. The purpose would be to really look at all angles and also utilize their expertise from other consults to give the city and the Trust foundation a more holistic view of how and/or what can be done to give the homeless population more resources. I read a similar article about homelessness and noticed the city went outside their own situation to seek feedback or best practices from those cities who seem to be allocating resources better. Great article. If you'd like check out my list of local opportunities identified at http://entreprenue-whaaat.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
