Are you interested in supporting small business growth and development in the Delta?
Alt.Consulting worked with the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) to evaluate a new entrepreneurial opportunity around Adult Family Homes (AFH). These homes create entrepreneurial opportunities in rural and urban communities.
Through this new program, individuals anywhere in Arkansas can turn their homes in to small businesses. Each home creates at least two jobs and allows elderly to stay in their community close to family and friends.
Over the last year, alt.Consulting worked with DHS to build a business model and develop a toolkit for starting these businesses. By helping to start four homes, we were able to test the model and put four caring people in business.
Are you interested in starting an Adult Family Home?
