I live in California, and I want to start a non-profit agency to help girls and women get a good start or re-start in life. For example, I want to buy a multi-unit apartment complex and have apartments where women can live either in a dorm setting or their own apartment if they have children and offer classes such as resume writing, filling out forms, basics such as applying for SSI, WIC, welfare, etc, and also provide other services to get them back on their feet, like helping them with money mangement, investments, buying property, etc. How do I get started? I need to apply for grants because I don't have the money myself to finance a project like this, but does anyone think this is a good idea? I want to gear this towards women who have been abused, divorced, widowed and young girls who have been in foster care or are pregnant with no where to go. I think we as women, should help each other out of debt and ignorance and I hope this is a good idea.
