Testimonials

I love Jacob so much!!! Being a part of the Sherlock's Homes Foundation has taught me so much about myself, others, my past and future. Before the Sherlock's Homes Foundation and meeting Jacob I wasn't exposed or introduced to certain topics and I didnt know how to handle certain situations, but Jacob was there to show me the way and some Ha Ha Ha!!! Jacob always told me that we as people do have the power to create our own lives, a beautiful one!!! I've always wanted to learn about real estate, the stock market, investing and how to one day start my own business or just learn about business in general. Jacob along with the many other incredible people I've got to meet and learn from gave me the tools and resources to help me reach my goals. I will forever always be thankful that I got the chance to meet someone like Jacob.

A lot of words can describe how grateful I am to have met Jacob! He brought me in when I had no where to go. I was being irresponsible and not paying attention to the news of COVID-19. I was partying in Gainesville and Tampa Bay, Florida. When Jacob called me one day and asked how I was doing and I told him I was stuck in Gainesville. Without hesitation, flew me to West Palm Beach and brought me in to his home. He has helped me become a better man and a contributing member of our Community here at Sherlock's Holmes Foundation. Jacob is like a second father to me and I am so happy to have met him. He has introduced me to the real estate, and opened a whole new future to me. He is helping me get my real estate license. Overall I'm just grateful to have met such a kind-hearted, sweet and genuine person like Jacob Jennings.

I aged out of foster care and ended up homeless for several years. I heard from a friend about Sherlock's Homes Foundation and spoke to Jacob a few days later. The day I spoke to him he took me in and within the week, bought me new clothes and toiletries. I was a bit reluctant at first, but I know that's because I wasn't used to being loved in that way. Now I am so grateful for everything he does. He's taught me how to be an adult. Jacob helped me gain a better understanding for not only others, but myself as well.

I love Jacob, he is such a helper to all it's almost sounds blown out of proportion when you hear the amount of miracles this man conquered. He's personally helped me with my upcoming business, my head and making sure I get my brain scans fast and get my results fast and my doctors are good, he's held me and let me cry and just let all of my walls down. If you could have a mom and dad all in one it would be Jacob, I don't know how he does it. He's so amazing I hope nothing but the best for him.

What would I be and where would I be without Sherlock's Homes Foundation and Jacob? I have no clue but I am glad that I crossed paths with Jacob. It's so funny that I met this random person at a pizza place and now he is one of my biggest mentors. I was only nineteen when I met Jacob. I was struggling with my parents not accepting the fact that I was transgender and they did not want to put in the effort to try to accept it. So, I moved out! I was the first kid in the Sherlock's Homes Foundation and now, I am one of the board members in the foundation. Crazy how that works.

Jacob really is a light in not only my life but in many other people's lives. Jacob really taught me so much in so little time I was in the house with him. He taught me how to be independent, how to meditate, how to build self-confidence, and just showed extreme amounts of love to a young stranger he barely knew. I ended up reconnecting with my family a few months after I moved in and I could not have thanked Jacob for all the help. I am so honored to work with Jacob side by side through this whole process and to have the chance to change the world. That's all I ever wanted when I started my transition. I wanted to help others that are going through what I had gone through.

Thank you Jacob and thanks to Sherlock's Homes Foundation for everything you have done for me! I appreciate YOU so much! I can't wait to see what we do on this bus tour! We're going to change the world one baby step at a time.

Mission

The Sherlock's Homes Foundation's mission is to change the conversation around homelessness in our communities and the world. We specialize in finding/creating homes for the vulnerable population, including LGBTQ+ Youth, youth who have aged out of the foster care system, veterans, individuals with disabilities and our senior citizens. Fixing broken homes, healing broken hearts.

Background Statement

Our founder, Jacob Jennings, was originally kicked out of his home for coming out, while he was in high school, he ended up graduating while living out of his 1993 Ford Escort GT. At the age of 17, he came up with the plan: to take broken homes and fix broken hearts. He would teach these "kids" how to invest, to flip houses and ultimately make homes of their own while learning professional skills to keep them off the streets for good. January 15th, 2020, (18 years later) the flood gates opened and there was no turning back.

Just as the pandemic was hitting the world, we opened up a house in Boca Raton, FL, opened our doors, and started to help those in need. Six months later, a second home in Colorado Springs, CO was opened, and also Sherlock's Homes Foundation received the letter, officially declaring them as a 501c3 Non-Profit. A second home in Colorado Springs, was opened, and more are set to open in the coming year.
