Working directly in 7 homeless and/or domestic violence shelters in DC, Prince George's County, 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 9,000 homeless families and individuals attain the skills necessary to get back on their feet.In 2007, JHP placed 298 people in employment. Helped 254 people find permanent and stable housing. Provided shelter for 180 people for a total of over 12,000 bed-nights. Prepared and served more than 20,000 meals.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.
