Describe yourself

Since our founding in 1991, Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network (NPIHN) has moved 300 families—840 individuals— from homelessness to stability. he NPIHN program provides assessment and referrals, emergency housing, supportive service and transitional housing. Equipped with new skills and relationships, 92% of our families do not return to shelter programs after their NPIHN experience.

We offer a safe and child-friendly alternative to more chaotic public shelter settings, allowing families to remain intact. Because we are small, we accommodate intact couples, single father households, adolescent boys, as well as single women with children. We strongly emphasize taking a holistic approach to rebuilding from homelessness. We are proud that our guests call us “the shelter that’s more like a home.”
