Our Beginnings

The story began when Tamela was 12 years old.  She was riding with her mother and father down Kingshighway.  She looked to her right and saw a man carrying everything he owned on his back.  This touched Tamela's heart.   It was then, her purpose was revealed to her.  Ten years later,  HTD was created.

Our mission is to get homeless men and women off the streets of St. Louis by building character and empowering them through comprehensive programs that meet their

physical, mental, financial and spiritual needs.
