Increasing Educational and Employment Opportunities through Workforce and Digital Literacy Instruction
Our accomplishments are rooted in the belief that every human being has dignity and potential, and our holistic approach acknowledges the complexity of root causes and effects of poverty. Financial self-sufficiency is a key component of overcoming homelessness.
Project HOME's Adult Education and Employment program is critical to our whole-person model of care that empowers Philadelphians who are low-income or have experienced homelessness to achieve recovery and self-sufficiency. The program offers digital literacy, career skills, and occupation-specific workforce training. It is open to adults eighteen years of age and older. All programming is trauma-informed, developed to address the specific needs of our participants, and tailored based on feedback.
