Gyrls in the H.O.O.D. wants to expand their vision to have a home for young women in need. It wants to buy a building or a home to house more young women.
Young women who are chosen to live in the H.O.O.D. House receive mental health services, because they might have experienced trauma also financial literacy services, so they can understand how money and credit works; and short-term certification programs.
The fundraising goal is $250,000. Smith estimates that money will pay for the house or building, insurance, utilities, maintenance and a H.O.O.D. House manager.
Smith is looking to connect with other organizations that are providing housing services to young women.
