To accomplish its objectives, Young's Legacy Inc will carry out the following methods and activities:

- To recruit, train, and supervise the homeless population who are interested and willing to participate in the building of tiny homes, and to provide them with the necessary tools, materials, and guidance.

- To partner with local landowners, developers, and municipalities who are willing to donate or lease land for the building of tiny homes, and to comply with the zoning, building, and safety codes and regulations.

- To sell or rent the tiny homes to low-income individuals or families who are in need of affordable and adequate housing, and to use the revenue to cover the operational costs and to fund the construction of new shelters.

- To collaborate with local contractors, architects, engineers, and volunteers who are willing to donate or discount their services and expertise for the construction of new shelters, and to ensure the quality and sustainability of the shelters.

- To coordinate with local schools, health care providers, social service agencies, and community organizations who are willing to refer, support, and serve the children with ADHD disorder, and to provide them with the appropriate programs and resources.

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Florida had the third-highest number of homeless people in the nation in 2023, with an estimated 28,000 individuals experiencing homelessness on a single night¹. Homelessness is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects not only the individuals who experience it, but also their families, communities, and society at large. Homelessness is associated with a range of negative outcomes, such as poor physical and mental health, substance abuse, violence, crime, and reduced educational and employment opportunities².

One of the main barriers to ending homelessness is the lack of affordable and adequate housing. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Florida was $1,265 in 2023, which is more than 30% of the median income for the state³. Moreover, the supply of low-income housing units is far below the demand, with only 26 affordable and available units for every 100 extremely low-income renter households in Florida⁴.

Another challenge faced by the homeless population is the lack of access to meaningful and sustainable employment. Many homeless individuals face discrimination, stigma, and obstacles in finding and keeping a job, such as lack of transportation, identification, education, skills, or work experience⁵. Without a stable income, they are unable to afford the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, health care, and housing.

Furthermore, homelessness has a significant impact on children and youth, who are among the most vulnerable and fastest-growing segments of the homeless population. In Florida, there were more than 96,000 homeless students enrolled in public schools in the 2022-2023 academic year⁶. Homeless children and youth face many difficulties and risks, such as academic underachievement, behavioral and emotional problems, chronic health conditions, exposure to violence and abuse, and lack of social support and positive role models⁷.

Among the homeless children and youth, those with ADHD disorder face additional challenges and needs. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects about 9.4% of children aged 2-17 in the U.S., and is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity⁸. Children with ADHD often struggle with learning, self-regulation, social skills, and self-esteem, and are more likely to experience academic failure, school dropout, substance abuse, delinquency, and mental health problems⁹. However, many children with ADHD do not receive adequate diagnosis, treatment, or support, especially those who are homeless or from low-income families

The expected outcomes of Young's Legacy Inc are:

- To increase the number and availability of tiny homes and shelters for the homeless population in Florida, and to reduce the housing cost burden and housing instability for the low-income population.

- To increase the income and employment opportunities for the homeless population in Florida, and to enhance their financial literacy and security.

- To improve the physical and mental health, self-esteem, and life satisfaction of the homeless population in Florida, and to reduce their substance abuse, violence, and criminal involvement.

- To improve the academic performance, behavioral and emotional functioning, and social skills of the children with ADHD disorder, and to increase their access to treatment and support.
