Welcome
to the I.P. Hunt Foundation website
I.P.
Hunt Foundation (IPHF) is a nonprofit publicly supported community
development and education charity
established
over 30 years ago
in Jackson, Mississippi. The mission of IPHF is to serve the needs
of underprivileged and disadvantaged communities.
Our
goal is to improve,
enhance and uplift the quality of life in underserved communities
through employment education and housing programs that serve the needs
of independent
small businesses and low-income working families.
Currently millions of Americans are uninsured and have no health or
medical coverage. An estimated 18-20 million are workers with
families who in spite of their hard work and effort are living
at or below the poverty level known as the "working poor". Countless
workers have to make sacrifices on a daily basis just to meet their
basic needs and continuously live under the threat of medical or physical
disability while finding it virtually impossible to afford decent
and respectable housing.
Affordable
worker
benefits,
employee and disaster housing are community improvement areas that
IPHF believes can be solved through creative arrangements that
serve the business, private and public interests.
Our
objective is to develop fresh and innovative solutions that include
the vision, cooperation and support of private citizens, major
corporations, family foundations as well as public institutions which
directly impact the health and well-being of the entire community.
Consequently, we
believe that all economic problems. political and social unrest can
all be traced directly or indirectly back to the health and well-being
of the working family which forms the backbone of our modern industrial
society and
touches each and everyone of our lives.
It is our position
that within each community are the solutions to its problems.
This includes basic worker health plans that serve the benefits
needs of independent small businesses and their workers, affordable
housing for seniors and working families to coastal seawall protection
systems. It is therefore critical that we develop specific alternative
community-oriented methods and means to address the vital interest
and needs of these underserved segments of our society.
We invite you and
all concerned citizens to join our effort to bring financial
education, housing fairness and economic inclusion for all deserving
citizens and productive working families.
Your
partnership, cooperation,
assistance and support
are essential to making a difference. We solicit and welcome
your
ideas, comments, suggestions and support.
