The Vital Connection between Ending Homelessness and Revitalizing a Neighborhood
Abstract
Project HOME began in the winter of 1989-90 in a locker room of a city recreation center. That locker room doubled as the Mother Katharine Drexel Residence, an overnight winter shelter for men. Many of them were older and frail and were long-time stayers on the harsh streets of Philadelphia. Volunteers and staff came together in a spirit of hospitality and mutuality to bring the men inside, where the (unimaginable) alternative was to sleep on a sidewalk grate, a church doorway, a subway concourse or an abandoned building.
