Philadelphia Homeless Services and Resources

Philadelphia has an impressive framework of organizations, programs and shelters already in place for the sole purpose of helping the homeless. A compact, organized list of homeless services and resources can be found in the Philadelphia Street Sheet, which can be found below. The Philadelphia Street Menu (also found below) is intended to complement the Street Sheet, and contains a day-by-day list of locations in the city where the homeless can find free meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
