Our recent legal advocacy project revealed something powerful: legal entanglements create significant barriers to health and safety for our community.

Thanks to a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), we partnered with Association of Philadelphia to bring on-site legal services to our Kensington location.

For the last of our PPPs of low-barrier housing, we're talking about Partners.

Traditional housing models often overlook the importance of relationships in a person's life, whether they are family members, friends, or romantic partners. Unfortunately, this can force people to choose between a warm bed and the people they rely on for support. At Prevention Point Philadelphia, we believe that no one should ever have to make that choice.

Happy September and National Recovery Month!

The journey of recovery is highly personal and unique to each individual. It can happen through many pathways, including clinical treatment, medication, faith-based approaches, and peer, friend, and family support. What everyone in recovery does have in common is a REAL (Restoring Every Aspect of Life) journey of transformation - restoring health, rebuilding relationships, regaining purpose, and rediscovering joy in every facet of life.

The best way to help someone start their recovery journey is by asking questions and listening. Explore ways to give support: samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost and the families impacted by overdose.

The numbers are staggering, but they tell a story of a crisis we can solve. With wider access to treatment and life-saving tools like Narcan (Naloxone), we can save lives. Through our training and Naloxone distribution programs, we fight for a world where no one has to die from an overdose.

Sharing a recovery story isn't just about celebrating a journey; it's about providing a roadmap for those who are still struggling to find their way. As National Recovery Month approaches, we'd like our followers to help us build a collection of powerful recovery stories to share with our community!

If you're comfortable, send us a DM with your story so that we can share it on our social media pages in September. Please let us know if you'd like us to include your name or if you prefer to remain anonymous when we share it. Let's celebrate recovery together!

The end of August marks the beginning of a new chapter for so many students. College life can be a lot of fun, but it's important to be aware of the risks. Did you know that nearly 700,000 students are assaulted or injured each year by someone who has had too much to drink?

As part of our commitment to doing the PPPs, we're focusing on Property and what it means to our residents.

For many, having a home is a choice between a warm bed and their belongings. Traditional housing models can make personal possessions a barrier due to strict storage limitations, safety concerns, and rules about what is considered "excessive." At PPP, we believe no one should have to face that difficult choice. We remove this barrier, meeting people where they are and allowing them to bring their lives with them.

Providing a safe space where residents can keep their belongings is a powerful step toward stability.
