**__Terms and Benefits__**- We are going to be giving an education, providing housing, and giving jobs. The homeless will be staying at a college/shelter called House of Hope, where they can go to school and also have a shelter where they have their own room for each family. The House of Hope will have 20 rooms, 5 really big rooms for the big families, and 15 other regular sized rooms, and each of these rooms holds 16 people (about 4 in each family). We are building a college, so the homeless can get an education so they can go to work, and by building a college we can hire people that need jobs and they can build the college/shelter, if they are experienced with building. Also we will need teachers to teach the homeless people that want to get a job, so that will also create jobs for either laid off teachers, or new teachers, that are looking for a job. We are going to be paying for this by hanging free advertisements on the school, donations, government funding project, also if we contact Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Red Cross, Good Will, City Mission, Salvation Army, can get them to help out too. We would put House of Hope into the most unemployed/homeless state in the United States. Putting them in Oregon, Washington, and California. If House of Hope does well in these states we can then start creating more and more of them in other states in the United Sates. Cites: Las Vegas, Las Agnes, Cleveland, Detroit, and Miami. ======
