Self-Empowerment & Livelihood Improvement (SLIP)

To solve the complex problems related to poverty, homelessness, and the disenfranchised is a focused strategy to help bring positive change to individuals. The Self-Empowerment & Livelihood Improvement Project (SLIP) involves community partners who share their expertise in the process.
