Working directly in 7 homeless and/or
domestic violence shelters in DC, Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties, JHP helps people transition from
dependency to self-sufficiency through education,
job development and support.
Believing that a steady paycheck
is more than money - it is a source of self-esteem
and the catalyst for changing lives - JHP focuses
on preparing and enabling its clients to enter and
remain in the workforce. Since 1988 we have helped
over 8,000 homeless families and individuals attain
the skills necessary to get back on their feet. In
2004 alone, JHP placed 435 people in employment and
helped over 200 people find permanent and stable housing.
By addressing the barriers that keep people unemployed
(whether it be poor education, lack of work experience,
behavioral or substance abuse issues, housing problems,
etc) JHP has developed a very effective program that
is vital to the health of the communities in which
it works.
