About the Founder
“If you bring someone out of darkness and change their direction you can change the outcome of their life”
The COHAP OUTREACH CORPORATION is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Natasha Wilson. In 2014, Mrs. Wilson was struck by the sheer amount of homelessness, and accompanying hopelessness, within the community and decided to do something about it. In particular, she noticed the lack of support, education, and employment for those formerly incarcerated and those who have served our nation. From this, COHAP (Chance of Hope and Prosperity) was born.
Mrs. Wilson has a degree in Business Management with a 13-year background in Real Estate & Real Estate Investment. She is also a Project Manager, Business Consultant, and Entrepreneur.
She has been recognized for the following:
🏅Humanitarian of the Year (Pulse The Magazine)

Through COHAP, Mrs. Wilson has created programs to help those on parole or probation seamlessly re-enter society. She had noticed many men and women returning to the prison system after getting paroled due to a lack of support, education, employment, and financial circumstances.
