HOMELESS HELPING HOMELESS, INC.

Adolphus Parker, the Founder, felt it was his personal responsibility to do something about the dreadful homeless situation of people sleeping in the street. He realized that despite bad choices in addition to mental and addiction issues etc., homeless people still needed shelter. It was Mr. Parker's belief that if these individuals were given the opportunity and empowered, they could do something not only for themselves but for many others, as well. The Founder believed in a counterintuitive concept of an organization that would be controlled and operated by the homeless clients themselves. HHH is unique in four ways: 1) It is the only social service agency literally controlled and operated by all homeless clients, 2) The HHH Board of Directors is made up of former clients, meaning you have to be a former client to sit on the Board of Directors, 3) HHH has a program that gives qualified clients the opportunity to become entrepreneurs and finally, 4) HHH created a credit system that allows homeless individuals, who have no money, job or do not meet the criteria for public assistance to volunteer and lengthen their stay at one of our facilities. Individuals volunteer between two to three hours each day, five days per week. HHH provides the following additional services to homeless residents and non-residents alike: food, laundry, shower, referrals, storage lockers, clothes, hygiene kit, employment, birth certificate program, bus pass program, phone/fax/internet, free copies, notary, TV room.
