Why is this important?

Our organization is dedicated to helping those in need. According to many reports, Long Island has one of the highest homeless population with more than half being children. Of these people, 63% have monthly incomes below the federal poverty level, often having to choose between paying the rent or utilities and paying for food. It’s been shown that homeless children are more likely to experience behavioral issues such as reduced ability to learn social skills and impaired cognitive learning—even permanent brain damage. The team of Gratus-Cubed is also looking to expand our projects to helping children and promoting education. Education is a major factor in someone's life and many children are not able receive an optimal education because of different circumstances.
