100 Homes Jacksonville – Inspired by the needs of homeless Veterans, Shawn Liu decided to be the change he hoped to see. Coordinating with Veteran Affiars, Homeless organizations, and other non-profits, Shawn organized 100 Homes Jax, an effort to search for and house 100 of the most medically needy & vulnerable homeless in the city. A huge success, the project found scores of homeless with life threatening conditions and is now providing stable housing and medical care even as you read this. From inspiration to real, tangible help.
