Follow on Google News | Sleep with a Purpose to Make Bed Drop to U.S. VETS in Inglewood, Calif. on Aug. 30SWAP will conduct a bed drop on August 30, donating 15 new beds to the US VETS in Inglewood, Calif. The for-profit social impact mattress company was created to help alleviate homelessness and support low-income housing initiatives.
By: Lisa Elia PR The SWAP beds will be given to veterans preparing to live independently in the community and transitioning in to permanent housing, through services provided by the U.S. VETS. According to a report published by the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) from 2009-2011, chronic homelessness in the United States decreased by 3 percent, and linked the decrease with an increase in the availability of supportive housing beds. “We’re grateful and proud to be able to supply beds to the veterans who have fought and sacrificed so much for our country. Through the good work of the U.S. VETS, they can transition back in to their communities and live healthy, productive lives,” says Josh Helland, who founded SWAP earlier this year, creating the world’s first for-profit social impact mattress company created to help alleviate homelessness and support low-income housing initiatives.
