What this episode covers
If you believe in ending the homeless crisis by empowering them to have jobs and support, rather than funding them to stay where they are, then you will be interested in hearing how it is being accomplished by the social enterprise- Beam based in London, England. Kellee talks with Alex Stephany, CEO of Beam about how its innovative crowd-funding and community platform is providing training and support, for the homeless, to empower them to transcend their current situation. 100 percent of the Beam sponsored homeless participants attend their training and 80 percent of them secure a job after training.
