## Resource

An anonymous donor just dropped a hundred thousand dollars on Lawrence Community Shelter—enough to install privacy-packed Step Up beds designed to give the homeless dignity and rest. These smart bunk beds come with lockers, phone chargers, and privacy walls, and they’re part of a nationwide effort by Sourcing Systems to transform shelter living. Shelter exec James Chiselom called the gift a powerful validation of his team’s work, while guests echoed how vital a good night’s sleep is during tough times. With plans to upgrade bathrooms and add lounges, Chiselom’s goal? Every bed at the shelter should eventually be a Step Up unit—marking just the beginning of a major transformation.
