Early Learning Play Spaces Completion, HopePHL in the news, upcoming events, + more!

The NAC at HopePHL presented the "Getting Your House in Order" brunch at the Enterprise Center for the public and members of the United Block Captains Association. The event included presenters from various organizations and was kicked off with Alice Wright, the President and Founder of the Block Captains Association. Following Alice, speakers from Clarifi, New York Life, and Affordable Housing Centers of Pennsylvania gave general overviews of their work and how they could potentially help members of the community. Senator Hughes also made an appearance at the Enterprise Center and briefly talked about the importance of school funding after mingling and taking some pictures with those in attendance. 

The presentation portion of the event was wrapped up with the main speaker, Dot Goldberger of Community Legal Services, Inc., discussing tangled titles. The remainder of the event was dedicated to the attendees checking out the different organization's tables after hearing what each organization's presentations. The representatives were then able to discuss on a more specific and personal level the help they could provide and the next steps to be taken.

These free events are a great opportunity for community members to get information and access to resources that they may otherwise not know about or are difficult to obtain.

The “State-Level Brief Update – A Call to Action” is brought to you by the Pennsylvania Head Start State Collaboration Office and HopePHL, in partnership with Grace Whitney, PhD. The Update highlights key state-level housing, education, and early childhood sector data regarding young children experiencing homelessness and it expands earlier efforts by including data related to young children in foster care.
