Saratoga, CA - West Valley College and World Innovations Network (WIN) are partnering to launch the United Community Alliance, a collaboration of West Valley students and faculty, local government officials, accomplished entrepreneurs, high-tech leaders, and the venture capital community. This alliance will create a hands-on approach to address the pressing needs of the community, providing students a chance to help solve real-world problems through sponsored paid internship programs. This student-inspired partnership has identified three specific areas to focus their first efforts: COVID-19, student homelessness, and clean water.

Homelessness in America is on the rise. The concept of throwing money at the problem and the issue will somehow disappear has not worked and does not apply to homeless people. Naimi Group is undertaking an initiative as a sponsor and collaboration with WIN and WVC to create a project / potential company for solving the problem of homelessness. It includes investigating the root causes of homelessness, statistics as to why the issue still exists, and solutions to eradicate homelessness in America. This is a longer-term project with the potential of a seed round of financing and investment opportunities.
