Mission Statement
The Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP) is committed to ending homelessness in Maryland by providing free legal services, including advice, counsel, education, representation and advocacy, for low-income persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. HPRP was founded in 1987 and separately incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 1990.
About This Cause
HPRP addresses the primary causes and solutions to homelessness - access and preservation of housing, income and employment. Guided by a profound understanding of our clients' barriers to accessing traditional legal services, HPRP staff and volunteers honor and accommodate these challenges by meeting and serving people where they live, eat, and spend time. HPRP staff and volunteers meet with clients in the community - shelters, public benefit offices, soup kitchens, the streets, community meetings - and in the HPRP office. Direct legal representation informs HPRP's broader-based systemic advocacy and impact litigation to address the root causes of homelessness. HPRP focuses its direct services in Baltimore City and Montgomery County, with satellite intake locations in Cecil and St. Mary's Counties. The HPRP legal team -- ten in-house attorneys and over 400 volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and law students -- resolves more than 1,000 legal cases annually, assisting in legal matters that will likely end or prevent clients' homelessness.
