A Pathway to Opportunity, Purpose, and Success
At HTP Homes, we believe every person has value, potential, and the ability to build a brighter future. Through hands-on construction training, industry-recognized credentials, job readiness preparation, and supportive services, we help justice-involved individuals and other at-risk adults develop the skills needed to secure meaningful employment and achieve long-term success.
Our mission is simple: transform lives by creating pathways to family-sustaining careers while strengthening the communities we serve. By combining workforce development, mentorship, and second-chance employment opportunities, HTP Homes empowers participants to overcome barriers, build confidence, and become productive contributors to their families and neighborhoods.
Why Our Work Matters
Too many young adults and returning citizens face barriers that limit their access to employment and economic opportunity. In Baltimore City, nearly one in six young adults ages 18-24 is neither working nor enrolled in school, leaving thousands disconnected from pathways to career success.
Through our Pre-Apprenticeship Program, HTP Homes is changing that reality by providing construction training, industry-recognized credentials, job-readiness preparation, mentorship, and supportive services to help participants build successful futures.
We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. By equipping at-risk young adults and justice-involved individuals with the skills and support they need to succeed, we help create stronger families, stronger neighborhoods, and stronger communities.
More Than Training. A New Beginning
Our participants are more than their past circumstances. They are future skilled trades professionals, homeowners, entrepreneurs, parents, mentors, and community leaders. Through construction training, career development, and community engagement, HTP Homes helps individuals:
-
Earn industry-recognized credentials
-
Develop workplace and life skills
-
Build confidence and self-sufficiency
-
Access employment opportunities with second-chance employers
-
Create pathways to family-sustaining wages
-
Contribute to the revitalization of their communities
THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS
TRAIN
Our Building Second Chances pre-apprenticeship program combines hands-on skills training with nationally-recognized safety and construction certifications. Participants obtain skills essential for workplace success.
NURTURE
We understand that our job does not end with teaching trade and workforce readiness skills. We work with third-party partners to provide wraparound support with a focus on emotional wellness, anger management, and financial literacy.
ACHIEVE
Our goal is career-focused job placement after our program participants successfully complete their training. Family-sustaining jobs will break the cycle of unemployment, incarceration, and recidivism.
SOCIAL GOOD MEETS
GOOD BUSINESS
Our Partners believe doing social good and good business don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Whether they’re mentors, employers, or just committed to supporting second chance hiring practices, these incredible people believe in the life-changing difference meaningful employment can make…and are doing something about it.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
