What's Being Done
Philadelphia is a World Class city for residents, tourists and businesses. Construction has caused many homeless people to change their daily patterns, creating concern in Center City.

We are aware of the issue. Philadelphia's Office of Homeless Services provides leadership, coordination, planning and mobilization of resources to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring by working with our many partners.

We Are Making Progress

Last year, we virtually ended veteran homelessness.

In early 2016, no families were found living on the street.

Programs that combine affordable rents with services have an 85 to 93% success rate in preventing a return to street homelessness.

What Is Needed
Resources to establish more affordable housing with services so we can expand what works
