Who We Are

COHAP OUTREACH CORPORATION is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit re-entry program dedicated to empowering veterans, aged-out foster care young adults, domestic violence survivors, and formerly incarcerated individuals with the tools and support they need to successfully reintegrate into society. We provide strategic planning and preventive services, offering a clear and direct pathway for formerly incarcerated individuals on parole or release. Our expert team of professional consultants tailors solutions to meet the unique needs of each client, starting with a comprehensive intake assessment to determine the best course of action.

At COHAP, we recognize that veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and young adults who have aged out of foster care face some of the greatest challenges in re-entry, often leading to homelessness and instability. To combat this, we offer short-term transitional housing and home-buying programs designed to create lasting stability.

Through strong partnerships with agencies, educational institutions, and local nonprofits, we provide certified educational programs, GED preparation, vocational training, resume and interview coaching, behavioral and addiction support groups, life skills training, and financial literacy programs all designed to lay a solid foundation for long-term success. By addressing critical barriers and providing a holistic support system, COHAP is changing lives, restoring hope, and building stronger communities. Together, we can break the cycle and create opportunities for a brighter future.
