THE PATH OF A NEW PERSPECTIVE…
OUR MISSION
HTP Homes believes that no human is expendable and everyone deserves a second chance. We teach construction and job readiness skills to at-risk and justice system involved individuals. We strive to empower each person we serve to be productive and successful members of their communities.
Approximately 60 percent of returning
citizens were unemployed before their initial
incarceration and are unemployed a year
after being released.
Within a four-year period, only 40 percent of
returning citizens were employed, and those who
were able to secure employment struggled with job
retention.
HTP Homes recognizes that our program participants have faced tough circumstances from the effects of living in impoverished communities. We believe that everyone deserves a chance at a dignified, empowering, and inspiring life. That starts with family-sustaining jobs. Our skills training and job readiness program is built on a foundation of care, listening to each individual's unique story and addressing the root causes of their challenges. Second Chance hiring and a pathway to meaningful employment are critical components to successful reentry for justice-involved persons.
THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS
TRAIN
Our Building Second Chances program is a job pathway model providing skills essential for job longevity and life-changing success.
NURTURE
We understand that our job does not end with teaching trade and workforce readiness skills. We work with third-party partners to provide wraparound support with a focus on emotional wellness, anger management, and financial literacy.
ACHIEVE
Our goal is career-focused job placement after our program participants successfully complete their training. Family-sustaining jobs will break the cycle of unemployment, incarceration, and recidivism.
SOCIAL GOOD MEETS
GOOD BUSINESS
Our Partners believe doing social good and good business don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Whether they’re mentors, employers, or just committed to supporting second chance hiring practices, these incredible people believe in the life-changing difference meaningful employment can make…and are doing something about it.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
