Hello friends, supporters, and community!  

As we focus on moving forward together, Adelante Juntos, we are assisting families in accessing affordable housing, educating the next generation about financial wellness, handing over the keys to new homeowners, assisting new migrants, creating resources for seniors, families, or helping a friend through an unexpected cancer diagnosis. TRP is strengthening the ecosystem and serving as a social impact institution that seamlessly blends community development, community organizing, and advocacy to create a vibrant, healthier, and accessible community where families and individuals can thrive.

In gratitude,

Raul
