When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.Michigan，she received a task to "design to fill a need." She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags，made 25 of them，and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground.While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters，one woman voiced dissatisfaction. "We don't need coats；we need jobs." she told Veronika.Then she had her second inspiration.
    After graduating from college in 2012，Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan，a nonprofit organization.She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog.Now，the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10，000 coats and distributed them in 30 states，Canada，and elsewhere abroad.
    "We don't require previous employment，" Veronika says. "We're looking for people who are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify.Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing，and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction.
    Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air，wind，and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat.Still，Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. "At the end of the day，" she says，"the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people."
