Peer Leadership Program VISTA
 
 
 
HELP Development Corp. is a NYC-based nonprofit that developed a 77-unit permanent supportive housing development for veterans who have experienced homelessness located in DC. HELP Development Corporation works to ensure that everyone has a place to call home. We provide shelter to meet people’s immediate needs, as well as the support they need to succeed for themselves, their families, and their communities. We envision a world where safe and stable housing is a starting point for everyone, because housing is the foundation upon which people can build better lives. At HELP Walter Reed Veteran Apartments, HELP Development Corporation is dedicated to helping residents who have experienced homelessness thrive in their permanent home by coordinating wraparound supportive services and providing on-site social programming.
