WHO WE SERVE
Our Programs serve homeless, adjudicated, dependent, or delinquent young adults that live within the State of PA. Young people must be between the ages of 18 to 26 years of age, participate in life skills training, and be committed to obtaining further education with the intent to become self-sufficient.
WHO WE ARE
Growing Resilient Communities was incorporated on August 15, 2020, after meetings and research conducted by Philly Homes 4 Youth Coalition. These meetings uncovered the enormous need for services for transition-aged youth and youth aging out of foster care. To meet this, need our agencies developed an Interdependent Housing Program.
