In January 2018, the JBJ Soul Foundation joined Project HOME, the City of Philadelphia, and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) at a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new Hub of Hope in the Center City Philadelphia sub-concourse. The 11,000-square-foot facility is operated by Project HOME and provides a gateway to vital services and care for Philadelphia’s homeless. The Hub of Hope is a first-of-its-kind engagement center for homeless created via a partnership with a social services agency, a transportation authority and a municipality. The Hub of Hope offers a safe place where people can enjoy a warm cup of coffee, take a shower and wash laundry, and speak to peers or case managers to begin the process of finding a permanent home. It creates even greater opportunities to connect individuals experiencing homelessness to recovery, medical care and ultimately stable, supportive housing. The JBJ Soul Foundation is proud to have provided funding over the years in support of this innovative and much needed program.
