What We Do
Our Mission
THAPP(To Help All People Prosper) is dedicated to putting an end to the devastating affects of homelessness. By providing transitional housing, mental health services, financial literacy and job/career training, the mission will be realized to eliminate homelessness. Partnering with other non profits that provide some of these core services will be crucial to the success of the mission.
The Impact of Homelessness & What We Can Do
Homelessness isn’t just a housing issue — it’s a public health, economic, and moral crisis. At THAPP (To Help All People Prosper), we are committed to addressing the root causes and advocating for real solutions.
How Homelessness Affects Us All:
Individuals suffer from untreated illness, trauma, and premature death.
Families, especially children, experience disrupted education and long-term instability.
Society bears rising costs from emergency services, law enforcement, and shelters.
Businesses and local economies lose productivity and foot traffic.
A Proven Path Forward:
Housing First: Providing stable housing before requiring recovery or employment.
Support Services: Mental health, job training & placement, and case management.
Affordable Housing: Collaborating with local and regional partners to build lasting solutions.
Be Part of the Solution: Support THAPP’s mission to end homelessness in the DMV area and hopefully, wherever homelessness affects our communities all over the country.
