Philadelphia Interfaith

(PIHN) Hospitality Network

An affiliate of Family Promise

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

As we move into 2014, Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network (PIHN),

boasts a new name and an enhanced logo. Why the change? Our Board decid-

ed to take out the word “Northwest” as we have expanded to other neighbor-

hoods in Northeast Philadelphia . We also added “an affiliate of Family Prom-

ise” emphasizing our strong connection with our parent organization. .

At the heart of our work, we recognize the promise that each family holds to pro-

vide a safe and nurturing home for their children. We believe that the horrific

cycle of homelessness can end, but it will take all of us working together to find

longer term solutions to support the well-being of our neighbors. .

Since our founding in 1991, Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network has

helped 325 Philadelphia families (910 individuals) achieve stability. In 2012, we expanded into Northeast

Philadelphia, forging ahead to create safe, local emergency housing for families in need. Today, our combined

networks in Northeast and Northwest Philadelphia engage 47 congregations and over 1,500 volunteers, in-

cluding many alumni of our program. We have also expanded our services, focusing on continued support for

alumni after their stay with us. This additional support helps families living on the edge financially to remain in

their homes by offering services designed to stretch tight budgets and increase self-sufficiency. Today, PIHN is

much more than the emergency housing program we were when we opened our doors 23 years ago. We take

pride in the creative and holistic programs we have developed. .

We have intentionally kept the program personal and focused on quality -- nurturing the success of every indi-

vidual family member. Our style is faith-inspired, pragmatic, and “up close and personal,” bringing volunteers

and families together to learn from one another. Although many of our families have experienced profound

trauma, the warmth and connection provided by volunteers and staff help families envision success. These

personal connections, combined with valued services and material supports, are probably the reasons over

70% of the families we have housed continue to stay in touch, and over 90%, despite great odds, never return

to the shelter system. .

None of the work that Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network

does could happen without the support of a caring community of in-

dividuals and partner organizations who provide financial resources,

volunteer time and material donations. During 2013, we struggled

with the bankruptcy of our landlord/partner organization and the ex-

pense of recreating all formerly shared business systems. It is the

generosity of community kept our doors open and our programs

growing! We now look back and realize how we, like the families we

serve, were literally one check away from losing our base of opera-

tion. We can attest that the individuals, businesses, foundations and

organizations mentioned in this report is the reason that the Phila-

delphia Interfaith Hospitality Network’s doors remain open. It is truly

a collective effort, demonstrating the care for our neighbors with

each act of kindness.

With gratitude to our wonderful community!

.

EMERGENCY SERVICES: HELP FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS

PIHN volunteers logged 15, 126 15, 126 15, 126 15, 126

volunteer hours working with our families.

What this means is that volunteers cooked,

hosted and shared meals, and stayed over-

night at host congregations to make our

guests feel welcome.

Staff provided material supports for 133 133 133 133

families and emergency housing

counseling for 275 275 275 275 households.

PIHN provided year-round shelter for 23

families, (31 adults and 39 children; 7,055 7,055 7,055 7,055

bed nights) .

Volunteers helped coordinate these services. By bringing

volunteers and guests together, friendships are built. An informal

mentoring relationship is established.

22,000 22,000 22,000 22,000 meals were provided for families in shelter, including healthy

breakfasts and after-school snacks.

187 187 187 187 children and youth received clothing: diapers, infant and toddler

clothes, back-to-school clothing, school uniforms and athletic activity

wear, winter coats, mittens and other essential personal items.

$12,993.18 $12,993.18 $12,993.18 $12,993.18 in SEPTA fares were provided to parents to

ensure they and their children reached work and school

safely.

Increased material contributions such as furniture required

us to transport donated items directly to families or to

temporary storage.

137 137 137 137 children received back-to-school packages, including

book bags filled with school supplies, courtesy of Cradles to

Crayons and United Way and generous congregation donors.

“The shelter that’s more like a home.” What this

means is that families can stay together while in

transition, without the interruptions found in larger

shelter programs. Rotating within the PIHN network

of churches and synagogues, our guests enjoy

private rooms, home-prepared meals and hospitality

provided by volunteers. It’s amazing how many hours

and how many moving parts it takes to make our

program work!

"It wasn’t that long ago when I felt so

stuck with nowhere to go. The stress and

anxiety was almost too much to bear. There is so

much light now at the other end of my tunnel. I

am truly grateful! The peace I have because my

girls are safe and secure and in a peaceful

environment is immeasurable! It is reaffirming

that people do care about other people!”

- Angela, PIHN alumni

TRANSITIONAL & SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

PIHN guests come to the program with minimal support

from family and friends. Many are in debt. A great number

of our families have experienced abuse or trauma as chil-

dren, spouses and/or adult partners. Having faced numer-

ous challenges, it is often difficult to envision success. An

effective response to family homelessness must address

issues of personal and financial development.

Therapeutic ServicesTherapeutic ServicesTherapeutic ServicesTherapeutic Services

PIHN staff provided 676 676 676 676 hours of therapeutic counseling

services and 250 250 250 250 art therapy sessions and support groups

for families. We are also piloting a parent’s yoga group to

teach relaxation and mindfulness.

PIHN conducted 36 36 36 36 parenting education sessions and family playgroups. These sessions helped parents identify and

address a wide range of special needs through early intervention, developmental and speech evaluations, and crea-

tion of individualized education plans (IEPs).

All families in our program are expected to meet their savings goals as es-

tablished with their social worker. All parents complete a credit check and

take steps to resolve issues that might impact future housing eligibility.

PIHN also provided:

• Regular budget coaching for 26 26 26 26 families

• Intermittent budgeting assistance for 24 24 24 24 families

ployment counselor and a new partnership begun in 2012 with Peo-

ple’s Emergency Center (PEC)

• Educational assistance for 21 21 21 21 individuals

• Financial Literacy workshops for 13 13 13 13 families

• Smart Money Club for 10 10 10 10 families

In the year ahead, we welcome a new

partnership with MyBudgetCoach.org, a web-based program

provided by Solutions for

Progress matching volunteer budget coaches with fami-

lies. Each session covers budgeting techniques, fi-

nancial management and goal attainment strate-

gies. The online tools

associated with the program allow families to track

expenses in real-time, keep track of their budget,

“It doesn’t seem long ago when

I was a product of “the system.” I had

been in several shelters that left me feeling lost with no

alternatives. I was treated as a number rather than a per-

son in distress. It was rock bottom for me. After entering

PIHN, I felt security and stability living there. They provid-

ed regular self improvement meetings (budgeting, par-

enting, groups, etc.). I enjoyed them because they gave

me an opportunity to grow in areas where I thought I had

it all together.” - Ginger, PIHN Alumni

CHILDREN AND YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

PIHN is committed to the belief that education and ca-

reer training are the way out of multi-generational pov-

erty. 56%56%56%56% of all those served by PIHN in 2013 were young

and/or school-aged children from birth—18 years of age.

PIHN projects open opportunities for children and teens to ex-

plore a wide variety of recreational, extracurricular activities, sum-

mer internships and career-related experiences.

Special programs and trips were organized to support and strengthen

the family unit. Six Six Six Six pre-teen girls participated in the new “It’s a Girl “It’s a Girl “It’s a Girl “It’s a Girl

Thing” Thing” Thing” Thing” workshop in partnership with the Asia Adams Save Our Chil-

dren Foundation. They covered topics related to self esteem, empow-

erment and body image. 10 10 10 10 all-expense-paid family outings were of-

We believe that every child deserves a healthy start.

Every young child in our program now receives an

assessment from the early intervention program of

Philadelphia Healthcare Management Corporation

(PHMC). Through partnerships with groups like Please

Touch Museum, ArtReach, Schuylkill Center for Envi-

ronmental Education, Cradles to Crayons, Greater Phil-

adelphia Diaper Bank and more, we make sure that

children have their material needs met and grow to be

healthy, curious and productive.

Our new PIHN garden flourishes while our kids enjoy

getting their hands dirty and learning about nature

Last July, Pet Smart donated an aquarium and five fish for

us to take care of. We’re happy to say they’re all still alive!

“Living in an emergency housing

program with my mom taught me

where and how I didn’t want to be in

life. Even so it was a blessing.

That made me see where I want to

get to.”

-Mason, 19, PIHN alumni

(Now on the Dean’s List at

Indiana University of PA)

“When I told my son

I was sorry that it would be a little

longer before I could provide a home

for him, he said ‘Don’t worry, Mom. I’m

actually getting a lot of good support and

connections to things we never would’ve

known about.’”

- Evelyn, PIHN alumni

TRANSFORMATIONAL HOUSING AND HOUSING RELOCATION

“My New House” drawn by Joshua, age 6, on his

moving day

PIHN currently subsidizes three market-rate housing opportunities

in the Northwest Philadelphia area for employed alumni. We are

looking to partner with landlords in the Northeast as well.

Depending on their situation, the families are expected to cover

the full cost of their housing. We also own and manage one

additional property. Our goal is to help families stay in safe, decent

housing in mixed-income neighborhoods close to their supports.

By the end of 2013, volunteers housed 23 23 23 23 families in

congregational shelter. Of the 23:

• 3 3 3 3 families moved from PIHN to permanent housing

• 13 13 13 13 moved to transitional housing (1 moved into PIHN’s

transformational housing program)

• 7 7 7 7 remained in emergency housing

By the time of our annual report publication, 21 21 21 21 of the 23 families

were housed!

Each family moved into a fully furnished household, most with fur-

niture, bedding, linens and kitchen equipment lovingly delivered by

PIHN volunteers.

ALUMNI: FAMILIES ON THE MOVE

Of 110 110 110 110 families served in 2013, all utilized at least one PIHN

service. On any day at least five alumni stop by or call to say hello or

utilize a service.

At the end of the year, an alumni group, “Families on the Move”,

was formed. A support system for all alumni, Families on the Move

has launched various fundraising methods to give back to PIHN. A

weekly thrift store called the Eye of the Doll thrift store headed by

alumni Dolly Lewis has helped the alumni group raise close to

$1,000 so far.

Now 20 congregations strong, our Northeast Network is coming into its own. Our

Northeast Advisory Committee has worked tirelessly to develop congregational partners

as well as fundraise and build awareness for programs supporting families experiencing

homeless in Northeast Philadelphia. Need is great and PIHN is the only emergency

housing program serving working families from the community. Their organizing efforts

during 2013 culminated in a fun and delicious Empty Plate Dinner that was held early in

2014. Over 30 businesses donated to the event which drew 300 community members

who were excited about our work. The event raised over $7,000 and will likely be PIHN’s

signature event in Northeast Philadelphia for years to come. All contributors to the 2014

Empty Plate Dinner will be listed in the 2014 annual report.
