What does ‘Housing First’ mean? We ask Pathways to Housing PA to explain
In Philadelphia, about 10,300 people experiencing homelessness entered an emergency shelter, safe haven, transitional housing or permanent housing project in the fiscal year of 2018, according to the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Homeless Services data.
So, how do some of these permanent housing projects work?
Pathways to Housing PA, an organization working to end homelessness in Philadelphia, uses a Housing First model to place people experiencing chronic homelessness into permanent supportive housing.
