About
Mike Neely, founder of the Homeless Outreach Program (HOP), conceptualized an agency that would help individuals and families navigate the complexities of the social service system. As a homeless veteran sleeping on Skid Row, he had first hand experience of the population. The concept was ground-breaking at the time: employing individuals with lived experience to outreach and assist current homeless persons through supporting them in navigating through available services.
