    The Empowerment Plan - Part II
    Feb 20 2017
    Our founder and CEO, Veronika Scott, was inspired to start The Empowerment Plan. The Empowerment Plan is a Detroit based nonprofit organization focused on permanently elevating families from the generational cycle of homelessness. We hire single parents from local shelters and provide them with training and full-time employment as seamstresses so that they can earn a stable income, find secure housing, and regain their independence. The individuals we hire manufacture a coat designed to meet the needs of those in the homeless community. The durable EMPWR Coat can transform into a sleeping bag at night or an over- the-shoulder bag when not in use. Teia Williams, seamstress, tells her story of working with The Empowerment Plan.

Since 2012, we have provided employment to 34 homeless individuals—all of whom have now secured permanent housing for themselves and their families —and distributed over 15,000 coats to those in need across the U.S. and Canada.Founder and CEO, Veronika Scott is a 2016 CNN Hero.
