Funding doesn’t magically appear. You’d have to raise money for it, and you may get some government funding. However, what you’re proposing has a lot of government regulations to go along with it. Generally, you have to have certified counselors, and also be certified for housing.
If you haven’t already worked for an organization doing this kind of work, that’s where I’d start. You’d get the experience and learn about the local regulations. Start with your local Rescue Mission or Salvation Army or Catholic Charities. Then go to your local housing authority and ask what it would take to get certified.
Finally, if you’ve done all that, I would create a business plan of how much your costs would be each month and each year, and what your sources of revenue would be. How much do government programs give you? How much can you raise from local foundations (go and interview them and ask, or research their local giving at www.guidestar.org, looking at their 990 forms)? Then, survey the local community and see how much donors would donate.
What you’re proposing is really, really hard. Start by working with other organizations first. It’s not an easy way to make money.
