**Salesforce.com, the US software firm which has its European base in Dublin, is
funding a programme to help people who are homeless in Dublin return to education
and work. The City of Dublin YMCA was one of 21 organisations worldwide to share
more than €100,000 from Salesforce.com.**

The YMCA addresses the educational, recreational and spiritual needs of those most
disadvantaged living in the inner city Dublin area. Through its Vision 2000 Project
it is working to provide support, education and accommodation for young people vulnerable
to homelessness.

Salesforce.com staff regularly work with the YMCA providing food and a friendly 
face to young people on Dublin’s streets. The Foundation is also developing a partnership
to find creative and cost efficient ways to bring technical resources such as software,
hardware, and expertise to this organisation including enhancing their website, 
public relations and outreach.
