Awbury Village

ntent of the community is to eliminate the isolation that comes with poverty and homelessness, to deliver support services and life-skills training in a community setting, and to prepare families to proudly re-engage with society. Awbury Village changes that. Families who live here will not simply be tenants. Single parents will enter into a community where, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they will feel supported and be asked to be supportive. Community members will be encouraged to take turns watching the children, harvesting the community garden, and cooking dinners together. The intent is that each family learns from the community what it means to lift each other up.

Our goal is to successfully set families on a path to independence and home ownership within five years. SafeHome Philadelphia is an initiative of the Philadelphia Committee to End Homelessness (PCEH), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing to individuals and families at risk.
