You make magic happen!
Melvin Jones
Melvin is a people person. He likes talking, and after sitting with him for a few minutes, you feel like you’ve known him for years. So when he came into Health Care for the Homeless a few months ago for a check-up with his medical provider, it wasn’t too surprising that he told us he was loving his new found career in sales.
"We are…No different from our clients. Present, genuine and thoughtful members within our families and communities. Disruptive innovators."
"We…Don’t give up on anybody. Never settle. Create opportunities toward wholeness."
Statistics
There are less than 5,000 shelter beds available across the state, but more than 50,000 Marylanders are experiencing homelessness.
THANK YOU for making this an unforgettable #GivingTuesday
“I would not be able to exude the core values of Health Care for the Homeless without the awesome group of people that surround me every day. I genuinely love the work I do and the people I work with.”
Kevin Moore
“In 1985 I was charged with the murder of a law enforcement officer. I was given a 20-year sentence. I did 16 years and five months. All those years I lost family members. On April 12, 2002, I came home and my neighborhood was gone. Hollander Ridge. I have been bouncing around from house to house with friends. I’m not going to give up. I’m going to continue to look for a job, I’m 47 years old.
