Today, HEP offers a wide range of services designed to break the cycle of homelessness, including on-site medical care, mental health counseling, transportation, job training, nutrition programs, child care and more. In addition, we\u2019ve expanded our housing model to not only include emergency shelters, but also transitional and permanent supportive housing to provide more comprehensive long-term care. It is for these reasons that our leadership team and Board of Directors has decided to change the name of our organization \u2013 to better represent all that we have to offer, and will continue to offer in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u00a0have also launched a redesigned website in order to give web visitors a user-friendly tool to learn information about HEP\u2019s services and programs, as well as information about how they can get involved with the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the\u00a0new website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.HEPempowers.org\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOW &#8220;HOMELESS EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM&#8221; Empowering others on a daily basis and the new name reflects\u00a0that.
