This may not qualilfy as social enterprise but it was still nice to read about a green shelter for the homeless opening in Oakland. It is a marriage of social missions that deserves more attention.
"Most homeless shelters opened in the 1980s in churches, synagogues and abandoned warehouses, said Michael Stoops, acting executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless in Washington. Mr. Stoops, who has worked in the field for 35 years, said he believed Crossroads was the first green homeless shelter and should be 'a model for others around the country.'"
As we look for new ways to move forward, this project can be a model.
