The Project
The Transition Outreach Project (TOP) will serve the San Diego homeless population that are transitioning back into society. Major barriers to this transition are damaged credit, constant harassment from creditors, and debts that bar them from getting housing, keeping a steady job, and keeping a bank account. TOP will coordinate with local homeless organizations with transitioning services to provide education, counseling, litigation, negotiation, and bankruptcy, if needed.
