Homeless Empowerment Project (HEP) Inc.

Our mission is to empower the economically disadvantaged in greater Boston through self-employment, skills development, and self-expression. We also strive to create forums, including independent media, that reshape public perceptions of poverty and homelessness.

Organizational Structure: The Homeless Empowerment Project is a grass-roots organization comprised primarily of people who have either been homeless, have worked with the homeless, or wish to become active in our effort to impact the tragedy of homelessness and poverty. Our agenda of empowerment through economic- and skills-development opportunities is carried out in many ways, including through staff, committee, and Board of Director membership opportunities.
