Curing a Homeless Epidemic
Our purpose is to break the cycle of homelessness for the thousands of people we help each year. We monitor our programs to measure progress against stated goals and make necessary refinements throughout the process. Since 1986, our mission has been to provide homeless and low-income individuals and families, including veterans, with housing, food, clothing and support services necessary to obtain self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.

A Story of Triumph
I came to HEP last year after suffering from depression for many years. The support I received at HEP has changed my life. I now have a better outlook on life and this place has given me a chance to re-focus.
