Office of Homelessness Assistance and Poverty Prevention - OHAPP

Today, DHAPP went out with DPHSS Deputy Director Amanda Shelton to distribute some water and food support to Yigo residents in the Gil Breeze area. We spoken with residents about how they fared during the storm and checked if they needed any assistance with DPHSS services or connection to any other government services.
