Pathways to Housing PA uses an evidence-based Housing First model to house more than 600 people in regular apartments across Philadelphia with an unprecedented 85% housing retention rate for participants. These same participants would be considered not housing ready in other programs. As an alternative to emergency shelter and transitional housing, the Housing First model is simple: provide housing without preconditions, and then address underlying issues around mental health, substance use, medical care, and education to welcome people back into the community.
