Our Christian Faith is the foundation of everything we do and compels us to treat everyone–our guests, volunteers and donors–with excellence, dignity and compassion (in full obedience to Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25). Combining twenty-first century best practices with Christian compassion, we empower everyone we serve through trauma-informed care, a model that emphasizes more holistic, relational, long-term solutions.Join us as we open our doors 365 days a year to activate others' God-given potential.www.phillyhouse.org
