William Michael Cunningham to speak at the opening of Brenda House Women's Shelter

WASHINGTON - May 11, 2018 - PRLog -- William Michael Cunningham is honored to have been selected to speak at the  Brenda House for Promising Futures (BHPF) opening in Baltimore, MD on May 12, 2018.

BHPF provides resources for homeless women between the ages of 18 and 25 and their dependent children. The house offers an intensive array of services, activities and amenities to meet the short and long term needs of pregnant and parenting young women. BHPF will teach and coach women on how to utilize development strategies that will prevent risky behavior. Parenting skills, child development, family budgeting, health and nutrition, and other skills are some of the services provided to promote their long-term economic independence.  B.H.P.F will invest hope, love, and encouragement in the lives of young mothers, as they strive for personal and economic independence, understanding their significance in God's eyes, while ensuring a healthy future for them and their children.

According to BHPF, "there are about 400,000 homeless and pregnant young women in this country.  For pregnant and parenting youth who are currently homeless or lack adequate housing options, there are various programs through local governments and private organizations that can provide housing and other services. Incorporating these programs into advocacy efforts is a great way to help address homelessness among adolescent parents in the United States today." See: https://www.facebook.com/BHPF49/

Mr. Cunningham will speak about economic resources and new investment vehicles he created to address homelessness.

Mr. Cunningham first outlined these vehicles at a talk he gave in New York at the Blockchain for Social Impact Conference.
