We're a Detroit-based nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the homeless community. We hire homeless women from local shelters to become full time seamstresses. These women manufacture a coat that transforms into a sleeping bag, which is then given out to homeless individuals living on the streets at no cost to them. We believe in giving second chances to those who want it, and providing warmth to those who need it.

We inspire families to realize their dreams and achieve economic independence by providing hope, resources and a plan.

Power Inspires Progress (PIP) provides stabilization, training, and job placement for individuals with chronic barriers to employment. To this end, PIP operates two social enterprises (Venice on Vine and Venice Kitchens) which function as nontraditional "classrooms" in which individuals gain employment skills and develop an acquaintance with the culture of work. Individuals also co-create and execute stabilization plans in conjunction with staff and community volunteers to secure housing, healthcare, and other necessities, as well as tutor in remedial academics/GED. Our ultimate measure of success is our ability to help individuals secure positions of permanent employment. 86% of program participants were placed in the last fiscal year.
