R.E.A.P. – Redeem Enrichment Academic Place’s Mission
We Rescue, Redeem and Restore Veterans
Our goal is to provide temporary housing, empowerment through programs and strategic solutions, spiritual guidance, PTSD and family counseling.
LESS THAN 50 PERCENT OF RETURNING VETERANS IN NEED RECEIVE MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE
- While consistent efforts are being made across our nation to end veteran’s homelessness, the reality is many veterans are still facing this challenge.
- According to (PIT) Point-in-time count led annually by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assess homelessness, 37,085 veterans experienced homelessness in January 2019 and there has been no change to those numbers in 2020.
- These numbers above show that we still have a lot of work to do in solving the problem of providing safe housing for veterans and is therefore one of the reasons R.E.A.P. is working to help eliminate this issue.
Veterans continue to face significant challenges, including:
- Finding safe housing
- Accessing treatment for mental health issues
R.E.A.P. was founded to help eliminate these challenges by:
- Raising awareness of veterans’ needs
- Seeking partnerships with individuals and organizations committed to supporting veterans
- Securing funding for the future home of Redeem Enrichment Academic Place
The future Redeem Enrichment Academic Place will provide:
- Safe housing for veterans
- Essential care and support services
