Homeless Garden Project

The Homeless Garden Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has spent 30 years providing the essential business of growing food for the community and human services to those experiencing homelessness. HGP has been growing and innovating for better and more sustainable services providing job training, transitional employment and support services to people who are experiencing homelessness. Our core program has since been honed to be extremely effective and efficient, incorporating evidence-based practices, such as wrap-around support services, and providing an intensive 12-month duration. In normal times, HGP's vibrant education and volunteer program for the broad community blends formal, experiential and service-learning. The programs take place within our 3-acre organic farm and value-added social enterprises. Our award-winning program enjoys widespread positive recognition in the community.
