Homeless Empowerment Program

Description

• Homeless Empowerment Program - Helping People Help Themselves(HEP) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1986 to meet the immediate needs of a growing number of homeless individuals and families in Pinellas County, Florida. Since individuals and families were not effectively served through traditional shelter practices, the agency has sought to develop a more comprehensive approach to service delivery. Our continuum of care approach is holistic, addressing the physical, mental, and social conditions of the individual or family, while housing them over an extended period of time. Recognizing that homelessness is often only a symptom of much larger problems, HEP has developed a comprehensive list of supportive services offered to our residents. Support services provided by HEP and its community partners include intensive one-on-one case management, mental and medical health care, substance abuse treatment, dental care, education, transportation, meals and nutrition, job skills training, access to public benefits, legal aid, veterans assistance, and employment assistance. Moreover, with the establishment of the HEP Learning Center, a licensed child care center providing after school and summer enrichment services, HEP endeavors to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low self-esteem.OUR MISSIONTo provide homeless and very low-income individuals and families, including veterans, with housing, food, clothing and support services necessary to obtain self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.OUR VISIONWhile serving our local community, HEP will be recognized as a national model of excellence providing comprehensive solutions to homelessness for individuals, families and veterans in our community.OUR VALUESIntegrityCooperationAccountabilityRespectEmpathy(I CARE)
