Since its
beginning in 1989, Project HOME has been a leader in providing comprehensive
and effective services to persons who experience chronic homelessness. With
innovation, leadership, and an unyielding commitment to the dignity of each
person, we have developed nationally recognized programs that have proven that
homelessness can be solved. We have also been a leader in Philadelphia in
responding to the root causes of homelessness by helping to rebuild low-income
neighborhoods and by engaging in political advocacy to bring about positive
public policies for low-income and homeless persons.
The Vision of
Project Home
None of us are
home until all of us are home.®
The Mission of Project Home
The mission of
the Project HOME community is to empower adults, children, and families to
break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, to alleviate the underlying causes
of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as
individuals and as members of the broader society. We strive to create a
safe and respectful environment where we support each other in our struggles
for self-esteem, recovery, and the confidence to move toward
self-actualization.
Project HOME
achieves its mission through a continuum of services composed of street
outreach, a range of supportive housing, and comprehensive services. We address
the root causes of homelessness through neighborhood-based affordable housing,
economic development, and environmental enhancement programs, as well as
through providing access to employment opportunities; adult and youth
education; and healthcare.
Project HOME is
committed to social and political advocacy. An integral part of our work
is education about the realities of homelessness and poverty and vigorous
advocacy on behalf of and with homeless and low-income persons for more just
and humane public policies.
Project HOME is
committed to nurturing a spirit of community among persons from all walks of
life, all of whom have a role to play in making this a more just and
compassionate society.
