We start by housing people directly from the streets, without precondition.

We also provide furniture to folks moving out of homelessness from all over the city through our furniture bank.

This election season is monumental in several ways. In addition to there being a highly competitive presidential race set in a country still battling a pandemic, voters in Philadelphia will have greater access than ever before to early voting in these final weeks before November 3rd.

This increased access is huge in battling voter disenfranchisement, especially for our Pathways participants who may struggle with logistical barriers to participation.

As he became more secure, his desire to give back to his community grew.

Self confidence is a struggle for most of us. Appearance plays heavily into self esteem, and the desire to fit in and just look like everyone else is especially strong for folks who have had injuries that affect their appearance. Some turn to cosmetic surgery for a boost to their self esteem, though not everyone has the means or the opportunity to make that happen.
