On Monday, September 27, 2021 at 10 a.m. we will celebrate the grand opening of Project HOME’s newest residence.

Peg’s Place provides 40 affordable homes to men and women with up to 10 apartments for young adults (aged 18 to 23 at entry) who are experiencing homelessness.

This is the eighth project of MPOWER, a unique partnership model drawing on a powerful network of people and ideas that multiplies Project HOME’s impact in five key areas: investments, relationships, resources, advocacy, and evidence.

Residents have access to medical and behavioral health services and substance use treatment and recovery services, as needed. In addition, all residents receive employment and education services through Project HOME’s Workforce Solutions program. We believe that with interventions to stabilize, educate, employ, and empower these men and women, we can prevent them from becoming chronic homelessness in the future.

This year, Project HOME’s 13th annual Bring Philly HOME is a week-long series of in-person and virtual events running from September 23-29, 2021.

Our Volunteer Community Day will take place in the Ludlow neighborhood of Philadelphia and will be adjacent to its sister property of the Gloria Casarez Residence. (Rain date Sunday, 9/26)

We look forward to seeing you for a great day in the community! If you are unable to join us, we hope you will find a meaningful way to participate in Bring Philly HOME Sept. 23rd through Sept. 29th.

**Under advisement from our Healthcare Services team, we are requiring that all guests and volunteers attending Bring Philly HOME events provide proof of full vaccination. To further the safety of our guests and volunteers, Project HOME is ensuring that only vaccinated staff members are working and attending the event. If you are unable to adhere to the conditions set for this event, please consider these alternative options in furthering the mission of Project HOME.

The Race HOME is a self-timed, self-paced wellness activity— run a 5k, walk a mile, or take a lap around the block; any distance helps raise awareness of Project HOME’s mission to end and prevent chronic street homelessness. This event will focus on the important role physical and mental wellness has in an individual’s journey towards permanent and supportive housing. Race participation will help a Project HOME community member on their journey home.

Street homelessness greatly impacts a person’s physical and mental health. Project HOME’s Hub of Hope offers a safe place where people can enjoy a warm cup of coffee, shower, wash laundry, see a doctor, meet with a case manager, and begin the process of finding permanent housing.

The Race HOME is part of this year’s Bring Philly HOME, our annual fundraiser, running from September 23 to 29, 2021.

Can’t participate in The Race HOME but still want to support Philadelphians experiencing homelessness? Consider making a hygiene kit. We will be collecting hygiene kits throughout the Bring Philly HOME week at three locations:
