The Problem

Project LEAN is trying to empower the homeless community of St. Louis to overcome the barriers to leading a healthy lifestyle. We focus on simple, affordable, and easily implementable strategies that allow the homeless to maintain good health as they work to get back on their feet.

Plan of Action

We will hold weekly, two-hour sessions with the residents of the Young Women's Christian Association in St. Louis. During these sessions, we will cover various areas of well-being, such as diet, stress management, and physical activity. We will provide participants with a healthy meal during each session, as well as food diaries, pedometers, and exercise equipment to keep up with their diet- and fitness-related goals. We will also track the participants' progress over the course of ten weeks via medical evaluations.
