COMMUNITY RESOURCE BULLETIN BOARD
People's Emergency Center and Youth Service, Inc. Announce New Agency NamePeople’s Emergency Center and Youth Service, Inc. announced our plan to integrate into one agency in November 2019. We officially began operating as a single organization named HopePHL™ (pronounced “hopeful”) on January 1, 2023.
HopePHL’s mission is to inspire Philadelphia's children, youth, families and communities to thrive by providing housing, advocacy, and trauma-responsive social services designed to promote equity, resilience, autonomy, and well-being. By leveraging the combined expertise, networks and cumulative impact of PEC and YSI, HopePHL will deliver many of the same services, and some new programs with efficiency and efficacy. HopePHL will support over 25,000 community members, residents, and students annually to reach their goals of safe homes, economically secure and healthy families, and thriving students and businesses. A new website, HopePHL.org, is currently under construction, and we are updating our social media channels and e-newsletters. We expect the transitions to be completed by January 25. |

So, there [were] a lot of programs that I did not know. This class has helped me learn a lot of new stuff, and there’s a class everyday so you can get on whenever you want!” |
