Analysis

Costs versus Benefits:
At SafeHome, we believe that independence and security are invaluable. Surprisingly, they're also inexpensive.

-The one-time cost of housing a family through SafeHome is $4,000.
-The on-going, yearly cost of housing a family in a shelter is $35,000.
-A study funded by NYU shows that children who live in permanent homes are healthier and do better in school.

Safe Philadelphia is the proven solution to the homelessness crisis. In two short years, we've ENDED HOMELESSNESS for over 100 families, including 200 children!

Support:
At SafeHome, we're dedicated to our mission of ending homelessness, but we can't do it without your support. We're a community-based organization, funded entirely through the generosity of private foundations and individuals. All donations are tax deductible.
Contribute and be part of the solution.
