Homeless Empowerment Program
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.
