People with Hope thrive.
HopePHL inspires families, youth and children to thrive. Thanks to the support of our donors, our impact in 2025 included:
• Providing safe housing for over 400 individuals. • Connecting over 2,000 school-age children experiencing homelessness or other barriers with resources to support their educational goals. • Preventing 103 evictions and provided over $400,000 in emergency rental assistance. But this isn’t just data. These are life-changing outcomes for real people, like Angela and Darien (names changed for privacy). Shelly’s (name changed for privacy) story is one example of what becomes possible when that support is there. When Shelly arrived at Rowan Transitional Housing, she was fleeing domestic violence and experiencing homelessness. She came with her young son, limited income, childcare barriers, and the constant worry of losing custody of another child. Like many parents who come to HopePHL, Shelly was doing everything she could to protect her family as she navigated overwhelming challenges. With support from people like you, our team was able to meet Shelly where she was and begin helping her rebuild. Through coordinated, trauma-responsive support, housing staff worked alongside clinical and other family support teams to address the barriers standing between Shelly and long-term stability. Over the next several months, Shelly accessed a range of services designed to help her rebuild: • Case management and therapeutic support to mitigate trauma and strengthen family stability. • Crisis nursery services to provide childcare so she could attend medical appointments and pursue employment opportunities. • Employment and financial counseling. • Assistance securing full-time early childhood education for her son. With stable childcare and continued support from her case manager, Shelly secured a higher-paying, full-time job and enrolled her son in full-time Pre-K. Within eight months, she was able to transition into permanent housing. Shelly’s journey reflects something we see every day: housing alone is not enough. Lasting stability requires coordinated services — clinical support to address trauma, childcare, employment, and financial coaching, and consistent case management working together. |
