2014 Annual Report for Website - Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality

Philadelphia Interfaith
Hospitality Network
(PIHN)
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 decided to take out the word “Northwest” as we have expanded to other neighborhoods in Northeast Philadelphia . We also added “an affiliate of Family Promise” emphasizing our strong connection with our parent organization.
.
At the heart of our work, we recognize the promise that each family holds to provide 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, including 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 individual 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 individuals 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 expense 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 operation. We can attest that the individuals, businesses, foundations and
organizations mentioned in this report is the reason that the Philadelphia 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!
Executive Director Rachel Falkove

EMERGENCY SERVICES: HELP FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS
“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!
PIHN volunteers logged 15, 126
volunteer hours working with our families.
What this means is that volunteers cooked,
hosted and shared meals, and stayed overnight at host congregations to make our
guests feel welcome.
Staff provided material supports for 133
families and emergency housing
counseling for 275 households.
PIHN provided year-round shelter for 23
families, (31 adults and 39 children; 7,055
bed nights) .
"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
Volunteers helped coordinate these services. By bringing
volunteers and guests together, friendships are built. An informal
mentoring relationship is established.
22,000 meals were provided for families in shelter, including healthy
breakfasts and after-school snacks.
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 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 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.

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 children, spouses and/or adult partners. Having faced numerous challenges, it is often difficult to envision success. An
effective response to family homelessness must address
issues of personal and financial development.
Therapeutic Services
PIHN staff provided 676 hours of therapeutic counseling
services and 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 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 creation of individualized education plans (IEPs).
Financial Literacy, Employability & Career Development
All families in our program are expected to meet their savings goals as established 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 families
•
Intermittent budgeting assistance for 24 families
•
Job search assistance for 29 parents and teens through NPIHN’s employment counselor and a new partnership begun in 2012 with People’s Emergency Center (PEC)
•
Educational assistance for 21 individuals
•
Financial Literacy workshops for 13 families
•
Smart Money Club for 10 families
In the year ahead, we welcome a new
partnership with MyBudgetCoach.org, a web-based program
provided by Solutions for
“It doesn’t seem long ago when
Progress matching volunteer budget coaches with famiI was a product of “the system.” I had
been in several shelters that left me feeling lost with no
lies. Each session covers budgeting techniques, fialternatives. I was treated as a number rather than a pernancial management and goal attainment strateson in distress. It was rock bottom for me. After entering
gies. The online tools
PIHN, I felt security and stability living there. They providassociated with the program allow families to track
ed regular self improvement meetings (budgeting, parexpenses in real-time, keep track of their budget,
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
72 nights of homework help
were provided by volunteers
14 teens found job placements and received
resume coaching
65 youth attended camps & enrichment programs
College planning was provided for 9 high school seniors
8 Books Aloud workshops were provided
17 children participated in weekly art therapy sessions
12 family parent-child playgroups were held
17 children’s gardening sessions brought children
back in touch with nature
PIHN is committed to the belief that education and career training are the way out of multi-generational poverty. 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 explore a wide variety of recreational, extracurricular activities, summer internships and career-related experiences.
Special programs and trips were organized to support and strengthen
the family unit. Six pre-teen girls participated in the new “It’s a Girl
Thing” workshop in partnership with the Asia Adams Save Our Children Foundation. They covered topics related to self esteem, empowerment and body image. 10 all-expense-paid family outings were offered for 65 people to venues such as the Camden Sharks baseball
games and the Please Touch Museum.
Material Support
153 children and youth received clothing
through Cradles to Crayons
130 book bags given out at start of the
school year
107 school uniforms distributed at start of
school year

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 Environmental Education, Cradles to Crayons, Greater Philadelphia Diaper Bank and more, we make sure that
children have their material needs met and grow to be
healthy, curious and productive.
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)
Our new PIHN garden flourishes while our kids enjoy
getting their hands dirty and learning about nature
“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
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 families in
congregational shelter. Of the 23:
•
3 families moved from PIHN to permanent housing
•
13 moved to transitional housing (1 moved into PIHN’s
transformational housing program)
•
7 remained in emergency housing
By the time of our annual report publication, 21 of the 23 families
were housed!
Each family moved into a fully furnished household, most with furniture, bedding, linens and kitchen equipment lovingly delivered by
PIHN volunteers.

ALUMNI: FAMILIES ON THE MOVE
Of 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.

UPDATE FROM THE NORTHEAST NETWORK
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.
