HEP is one of the oldest and largest providers of housing and support services for the homeless in Pinellas County.

Since 1986, the HEP MISSION has been to provide homeless and very low-income individuals and families with housing, food, clothing and support services necessary to obtain self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.

Simply put, the HEP goal is to break the cycle of homelessness and be the last homeless shelter an individual or family ever has to access.
