Our Mission At Snipes H3

Welcome to Snipes H3, a place where our mission extends beyond meeting basic needs; it's a commitment to nurturing lives and enabling individuals to reach their full potential. Established in 2023, we dedicate ourselves to supporting those grappling with homelessness, housing instability, and the impacts of abuse and discrimination. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of these challenges, we strive to offer more than temporary solutions, providing a foundation for a new start in an environment that fosters hope, growth, and transformation.

Tailored Support for Unique Journeys

At Snipes H3, we view each person's journey as unique and tailor our programs to support individual paths to stability and self-sufficiency. While our initial focus is on young adults aged 18-24, we welcome anyone in need of a supportive community to rebuild their lives. A new start here means being part of a caring community that provides tools for personal growth and stands beside each individual every step of the way.

Our mission is to create opportunities for individuals to discover and realize their full potential, embodying the idea of "Be All You Can Be." We believe in the immense potential within every person and are committed to unlocking it, one person at a time.

Our Story

Our Founder's Inspiration

Snipes H3 was founded by Tobaski Snipes, a highly decorated retired Army helicopter pilot

and surgical tech, whose extensive travels during his military career shaped his understanding of societal disparities. Transitioning into social work in 2018, his experiences became the cornerstone of Snipes H3, established as an LLC in 2021 and attaining it's 501(c)3 status in 2023. While our initial focus is on young adults, our mission encompasses all at risk of homelessness due to various adversities.

Tobaski's military background and dedication to social work have significantly influenced Snipes H3’s approach. His mentoring experience brings a unique perspective and compassionate understanding to the complexities surrounding homelessness and social vulnerability.

In addition to his professional journey, Tobaski takes immense pride in his role as a father, raising both a son and a daughter. His commitment to family values further underscores his dedication to creating a better future for those in need through Snipes H3.
