REDEEM ENRICHMENT ACADEMIC PLACE

R.E.A.P. is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Organization.

“WE RESCUE, REDEEM, & RESTORE VETERANS”

Our vision is to provide resources for American Veteran Ex-offenders, Homeless Veterans, and those Veterans coming back from war (OIF/OEF) in order to prevent them from being incarcerated or becoming homeless.

Our mission is to provide these Veterans with temporary housing, training in Computer Information Technology and other vocational training, life skills including moral transformation, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) counseling, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) treatment referral, and Family & Group Counseling, etc.

The core value of R.E.A.P. is based on the principles of love and compassion for our veterans. Together these components will promote positive changes in the lives and behaviors of the Veteran, and empower them to re-integrate back into society; this will yield enhanced public safety and empower them to have a sustainable income.

At R.E.A.P. our program will be a model for other programs to pattern after, provide solutions to our returning Veterans, veteran ex-offenders being released back into society, and the plight of the homeless veterans.

These men & women honorably serve our great country well, now it’s our turn to serve them.

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
― Albert Schweitzer

VETERANS CONTINUE TO FACE MANY CHALLENGES IN OUR COMMUNITIES TODAY AND THEY NEED OUR ASSISTANCE.

According to the National Center for PTSD, the prevalence of PTSD in Veterans who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan is about 11–20%.

Veterans with PTSD are TWICE as likely to die from suicide, accidental injury, and viral hepatitis than other Americans, found a study led by White River VA Medical Center researchers.

Special Report from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics (2015), shows an estimated 181,500 Veterans, total 8% of all inmates in state and federal prison and local jails were serving time in correctional facilities during 2011-2012. The report also indicated when compared to civilian offenders, Justice-Involved Veterans have been incarcerated for offenses that are more violent in nature and were more likely to report having been told they have a mental disorder.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) states that the nation’s homeless veterans are predominantly male, with roughly 9% being female. The majority are single; live in urban areas; and suffer from mental illness, alcohol and/or substance abuse, or co-occurring disorders. About 11% of the adult homeless population are veterans.
