Testimonials

I wanted to find a way to help people in my own community avoid evictions and potential lifelong housing instability. Fortunately, I discovered REAP, which helps individuals and families do just that.

In [LOP], I have learned that you have to try, and the teachers have been a key part in increasing my confidence. They create spaces free of judgment and full of encouragement.

The impact of LOP extends far beyond the classroom. It ripples through families, neighborhoods, and our entire community. It is a program that embodies the essence of unity and inclusivity, breaking down the barriers that separate us, and building bridges of understanding.
