Self-sufficiency for returning citizens, Transitional housingfor homeless, reducing Opioid, drug, and alcohol abuse with a hand-up not ahand-out! and always.  Collaborating withother service providers and community leaders in our offices in Escambia and SantaRosa counties. That’s REAP’s vision for every citizen of Northwest Florida regardlessof their history of incarceration, or their current homeless situation.

Toward Housing for All

Recognizing that basic shelter was a prerequisite to any future success in employment and substance abuse recovery, REAP partnered with local banks to acquire properties suitable to house returning citizens. REAP currently has 10 transitional houses in use in Escambia County, Florida. In 2019, REAP added re-entry services for women which now include two women's houses capable of housing up to 14 women. REAP has also acquired the use of two houses in Santa Rosa County, Florida to increase potential for supplying additional regional services. These properties serve as home to REAP clients where they may find privacy and dignity during the tumultuous transitional period following incarceration. Gradually, with the help of dedicated case workers and employment partners, clients are gradually phased out of the REAP properties as they gain financial independence.

REAP's primary service area includes the four westernmost counties in Northwest Florida: Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton and the Federal Northern District of Florida which extends from Pensacola to Gainesville, sans the Jacksonville area.

REAP operates on a combination of State funding, private grants, and individual donations. If you would like to learn more about REAP's programs or volunteer to help, please contact us. If you would like to donate, you may do so securely through PayPal via the button below.
