"The legal and moral battle over using policing, laws, and force to remove people from the streets has been fought in communities for decades. Court rulings nationwide have upheld the fundamental human rights of persons who found themselves in situations of homelessness without the necessary resources to overcome struggles such as addiction, mental illness, and especially affordable housing." - Sister Mary Scullion, For The Inquirer 📢 To read more of Sister Mary's op-ed for The Philadelphia Inquirer, visit the link below: https://lnkd.in/edwhGS-5

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is not cruel and unusual to impose a fine on an unhoused person who is sleeping outside, even when they have no other place to go. This ruling is a significant step in the wrong direction. It criminalizes homelessness and threatens the lives and dignity of those who simply need access to safe and affordable housing. #SolidarityWeek 🔗 To learn more about the ruling and to take action, visit https://lnkd.in/et3d8cba

Have you visited Fairmount Avenue recently and noticed something...different about our headquarters at 1515 Fairmount? We are proud to reveal that our storied residence will now bear the name "Christopher J. Seward Residence". We thank the Seward family for their incredible generosity in helping us make improvements to both the exterior and interior (wait until you see our new lobby) to create a more welcoming atmosphere for residents, staff, and visitors! We'll tell you more about Christopher and the changes in September, so keep watching this space for the invite!
