THE LES SANS-ABRI PROJECT
BUSINESS PLAN
Saturday, March 01, 2008
While doing the research for this business report I found that these numbers to be accurate and true to the best of my knowledge. The financial situation of The Les Sans-Abri Project is currently at a deficit. The utmost concern of this mission is the welfare of the homeless here in Lafayette, Louisiana. “In Louisiana alone there is 19.2% of the state who is homeless or living below poverty. That is 1/3 of the population.” According to the Census Bureau web site the numbers are staggering. (“http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/22000.html”)(see foot note) With rent, loan interest rates (mortgages), and normal everyday cost of living (hygiene products and food) being so high. Employers are not keeping up with the cost of living standard here in Louisiana. More and more people are forced to the streets because they simply cannot pay their rent and feed their families. Due to this society’s financial regression (resulting from the Katrina catastrophe) there has been an influx of men, women, and children in our community who are suffering as a result of this. Just recently we took in a young man who is married with a child. He is homeless for his wife to have a place to stay because there is no work where he lives; he comes to the city from the country to work and sends his wife home the money. He is a good man with a great spirit working seven days a week to support his family.
The organization members are as follows: Phillip Cordero (founder), Gary Sloate (spokes person), and Nadine Andersen (administrator). We are arranging a ministry to provide food for the homeless, along with logging. The administrator has collected people to fill the positions required for the body of this movement to be completed.
The current events will take place on or about May 3rd 2008. Where we will sell plate lunches, sell t-shirts and have a band. In a central location where for the people who this benefit is for will be able to get to. This is a fund raiser for the sole purpose of feeding and later down the road eventually housing these people also. We have designed a program to help people transition back into society as active members of the same. Our goals are to keep this event going at least once a month. Saving monies collected in the “Les Sans-Abri” Fund where the monies will be kept until it is time to start building from the funds. The new building we will build will be as big as a warehouse with 3 floors. The first floor will have the place to get medical attention, eat and recreation; the second floor will be the residents of the facility as will the third floor. This project will create jobs for the less fortunate and house the homeless. Most importantly are the women and children here in Louisiana. I have researched and it saddened me to see there was no “real” help for them here in Louisiana. While doing my research I started to cry and I said a prayer. I cannot believe that here in the land of the free this is still going on. But it is and we all need to get together and stop this mediocrity.
Although your support will be used for launch this first seminal funding event all proceeds will be used to continue the efforts of aiding Les Sans-Abri project. We have counted the costs in what it takes to meet these requirements. Any money that is left over from your support will go directly into the fund that we have set up for the objective. There will be ongoing financial funds coming into the mission through regular fund raisers, grants, and the church who is sponsoring us. We believe that this is God’s will. We also understand not everyone believes this way and we are opened to everyone who needs our help.
I have cited a few websites for your viewing to allow you to see what I have found during the research of this project. Your sponsorship is greatly needed and appreciated.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter!
Sincerely,
Nadine Andersen (Legal Assistant)

“New Orleans suffering from rental shortage
Monday, December 3, 2007, before, Hurricane Katrina, renters comprised more than half of New Orleans' population. The New York Times says despite this statistic, there has been little attention paid to reviving the rental home and apartment market. That’s led to widespread blight in key middle and working class neighborhoods, and led to a doubling of the city's homeless population. “FEMA and the federal bureaucracy seem oblivious to the fact that virtually no new affordable rental housing has yet appeared in New Orleans to replace what was lost,” said Martha J. Kegel, executive director of Unity of Greater New Orleans, a coalition of groups that help the homeless.
