Project Lorenzo, Inc.

Working to end homelessness one person at a time

Armando Parrish was only 16 when he founded this nonprofit to raise money to help people living on the streets.  Besides helping with funding while transitioning to permanent housing, we provide Google certification training and other IT skills training, mentoring, and job placement services for people experiencing homelessness. We partner with homeless recovery centers to identify individuals ready for our program.  We also work with local food banks to deliver food directly to people on the streets. 

As a member of the Housing Forward's All Neighbor Coalition, we work as advocates to help individuals experiencing homelessness navigate the system to find a home.  

EXCITING UPDATE!   Lorenzo, who has been living in a tent under the high-five for the past 25 years, finally has a place to call his own. We were overwhelmed with joy as we helped him move into his very own apartment last week. This moment was especially meaningful for Armando and his mom, Gina, who have been bringing food and supplies to Lorenzo for the past 18 years.
