Executive Summary Caring Shoulders To Lean On (CSTLO) is a for-profit shelter in the Greater Cleveland area that offers homeless women and their children a meal and a place to rest their head. CSTLO provides short-term and long-term care to women who are homeless and to their children. Due to the slump in the economy more women and their children will be facing homeless for the first time. My proposal is to expand our operation into a premier social service and human development agency that serves and advocates for women. We will be the only regional shelter in the Greater Cleveland area that provide resume writing, dress for success, interview techniques, computer classes, life skills training workshops, parenting classes, employment and educational resources, information and referrals to off-site services, job preparation, drug counseling, financial counseling, communication skills building, and personal and child welfare information. The overall cost for this project is $3.0 million. Most of our funding will come in the form of government grants. I have secure 2.6 million from the County, State, Federal and private fund. In order to get this project up and running and to expand our business we need to secure a building and have this project up and running in 48 weeks. CSTLO need to shift their operations to meet consumer’s demands. We will be doing the right thing by restructuring the way we do business and we will be taking actions and making decisions about the future that will put our organization on a path to long-term viability.
