We are incredibly thrilled and proud to share some phenomenal news about the lasting impact of our programs at Jobs Have Priority.

Thanks to the unwavering dedication, hard work, and compassion of our team, both our Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Transitional Housing-Rapid Re-Housing (TH-RRH) programs have achieved a 0% recidivism rate over the past two years!

What This Means for Our Community

Reaching a 0% return-to-homelessness rate for two consecutive years is an extraordinary accomplishment in the housing and human services field. It means that every single individual and family supported by these programs over the last 24 months has successfully maintained their long-term housing stability.

This remarkable milestone is a direct reflection of our staff’s tireless commitment to walking alongside our clients, providing robust support, and breaking the cycle of homelessness.

Thank You to Our Team & Supporters

This achievement simply would not be possible without the daily, individual efforts of our staff, the resilience of the clients we serve, and the continued leadership and guidance of our Board of Directors.

Thank you to everyone in the JHP family for your dedication to making a permanent, positive impact in our community. Together, we are building brighter, more stable futures!

Jobs Have Priority, Inc. is thrilled to announce the graduation of our valued customer, Ms. Tameka Kennedy, from the “A Wider Circle” Partnership to Independence (PTI) program. The graduation ceremony took place on April 4th at the Atlantic Street SE location, marking the end of a comprehensive three-year training process.

This program focuses on empowering single parents through education in economics and financial independence. Driven by a desire to honor her grandmother’s legacy, Ms. Kennedy has shown remarkable dedication to enhancing her professional and personal skills. JHP is honored to have stood by her side during this process and we wish her nothing but continued success in her new career path.

We’re so excited to share that Jobs Have Priority (JHP) was recently awarded a Certificate of Participation for leading the Jubilee Jobs Event on March 31st. It was an incredible day of connecting with the community and helping folks find new career paths.

A huge thanks to everyone who made it happen. We love what we do!

On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Jobs Have Priority, Inc. (JHP) joined forces with Wellpoint at Anacostia High School for the “Spring Into Health” Farmers Market. Representing JHP’s commitment to community stability, Job Developer Geoffrey Brooks was on the ground providing vital employment and vocational support to attendees.

Amidst the fresh produce and wellness resources, JHP served as a bridge to opportunity, offering guidance to neighbors looking to navigate the job market or enhance their career paths. By bringing vocational expertise directly to the neighborhood, JHP continues to prove that health and economic opportunity go hand-in-hand.

At Jobs Have Priority, we believe in the power of community. Mr. Rodney Taylor, a retired firefighter, continues to serve by providing life changing job opportunities to our Prince George’s House residents. His partnership illustrates exactly why advocacy matters. Alongside him stands Mr. Winslow, who is preparing to transition into his new home on April 1, 2026. Join us in celebrating these milestones of employment and housing, true pillars of a fresh start.
