Our Community Inclusion events bring participants together, but 'Community Inclusion' goes beyond these celebrations. Every interaction with a participant is a chance for us to build connection and belonging. Those who have experienced homelessness often have fewer opportunities for social interaction, which makes the relationships they form with our staff especially meaningful. Our programs are rooted in relational care, reminding each person that they are seen, valued, and deserving of community.

Community inclusion sounds like one of those buzzy phrases that should be self-explanatory, but you’re never quite sure you fully understand.

Big changes to SNAP went into effect last month, and many Pennsylvanians could lose benefits if they don’t meet new work or volunteer requirements. If you or someone you know receives SNAP, you may qualify for an exemption that allows you to keep your benefits. This article from Kensington Voice breaks down who’s affected, what to do, and where to find help locally from Community Legal Services of Philadelphia and BenePhilly Centers. At Pathways, our clinical teams are identifying participants affected by these changes and connecting them to resources to appeal or meet requirements.

As of September 1st, people receiving SNAP benefits are required to work, volunteer, or be in an employment training program a minimum of 20 hours a week in order to continue receiving assistance. If they don’t comply and aren’t exempt, their benefits will terminate December 1st.

Pathways to Housing PA currently provides homes and wraparound services for more than 500 participants in Philadelphia. All participants are supported by a dedicated case management team that helps address their unique housing, health, and community needs. Our service coordinators often find themselves behind the wheel, driving participants to medical appointments, the grocery store, community events, and our on-site clinic. Transportation, though often overlooked, is one of the biggest barriers to any type of care. It’s an important part of how we support our participants' stability and well-being.

These boxes are located throughout the city, especially in neighborhoods where access has traditionally been scarce. This ‘Naloxone in Black’ initiative is part of a national effort to address racial disparities in overdose deaths, equipping local communities with life-saving medication. Read more:
