[NEWS] Transit Agencies are Changing Their Approach to Homelessness

From Streetsblog.org:

The Hub of Hope is a partnership between the transit agency, SEPTA, and Project HOME, a social service agency for unsheltered people. SEPTA provided the space — a renovated 800-square-foot storefront inside the underground rail station at Penn Center downtown.

And Project HOME, using paid employees and volunteers, provides a place to hang out and get connected with services in a non-judgmental atmosphere — plus plenty of free coffee and food.
