HRH Made
HRH Made is a workforce training social enterprise operated in partnership with residents overcoming homelessness that offers screen printing and custom designed products.
HRH Made operates out of the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory (PUF), the anchor project in Hudson River Housing’s work to support and champion the Middle Main Street corridor of Poughkeepsie.
Through the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory, we’re using the rich bounty of arts and food in the Hudson Valley to amplify community assets, build connections, and provide a wide variety of meaningful experiences and opportunities to all who use the space.
The goal of HRH Made is to prepare people for future jobs, providing participants with a sense of confidence, creative expression, skill-building, job readiness, and money management skills.
We support a rotating cohort of trainees who have experienced homelessness and barriers to employment such as housing instability, age, disability, health issues, and others.
When you hire HRH Made, you're not just getting a great product, you're supporting an even greater mission. 100% of profits support the job training programs at Hudson River Housing.
