Helping People Help People
Building a scalable technology and workforce ecosystem designed to prevent homelessness, create employment pathways, and strengthen communities.
Farever App® and UpCorps® work together to connect people with resources, opportunities, employment, and pathways to lasting independence.
One Big Problem
People need help. Resources exist. But the pieces aren't connected.
Nonprofits are often understaffed and underfunded. Employers struggle to find reliable workers. Volunteers don't always know where they're needed most. And people facing a crisis often don't know where to turn—or how to find the right help at the right time.
Meanwhile, homelessness continues to affect individuals and families, including single mothers with children.
We can't build a sustainable future by simply giving people fish. We need to help people learn how to fish.
Farever App® connects people, resources, nonprofits, volunteers, and opportunities. UpCorps® takes the next step by helping people develop skills, find employment, and build a path toward lasting independence.
One Connected Approach
Farever App®
Building Technology That Prevents Homelessness
The Farever App® is a community engagement tool designed to be incredibly comprehensive by connecting community residents with those in need so they can help find them the resources, opportunities, volunteers, donors and employees for employers.

UpCorps®
Permanent Self-Sufficiency Through Opportunity
UpCorps® is a building community housing residents for 15 months so they can get physically, mentally and spiritually stronger, while learning a craft or trade that they can then use to become more self-sufficient. We will teach them an in-demand job skill and then get them hired. The money they make over the course of 15 months will then be given to them ($8-10K) so they can pay for a first months rent, deposit and some used furniture (we have resources here too). We will work in tandem with city officials, major employers, foundations and civic organizations to fund, hire and help.
