Kevin Barber is helping the homeless get paid with "Wheels for Change," a program that pays the homeless to clean up the city.
Barber says he got the idea from a TED Talk video. Cities across the country have been implementing similar programs, so Barber thought he could start one in San Diego.
Barber and his mother Carolyn, who funded the project for her son, reached out to the city government to start a trial run of the program.
"The program is simple. Several days a week a van will pick up homeless people who express an interest in working. The van will take them to work, picking up trash, pulling weeds, clearing brush, etc. At the end of the day, workers will be driven back and will be paid $11.50 an hour for their work. Here they may also possibly get shelter arranged. The goal is to get the homeless connected with social services they need, into housing, and offer them the dignity of working." Barber wrote on GoFundMe.
