[NEWS] A New Place to Call Home
From the Huffington Post:Â
It was 12 years ago when D.W. Wilkins first moved from New York City to Philadelphia.
Upon his arrival, he had been living without medical insurance and other safeguards until learning about the services being offered at St. Elizabeth, a health care and recovery initiative of the Philadelphia nonprofit Project HOME.
"I was taking a few computer classes in the community where I live and work," Wilson said. "It was there that I met a young lady who told me about St. Elizabeth and that I could go there and get the care that I needed."
According to Project HOME, roughly 70 percent of households have incomes of less than $35,000 per year in the St. Elizabeth community, and nearly half of adults and children live at or below the federal poverty level.
