Approximately 8,206 unduplicated people (including families) accessed emergency shelter in Philadelphia last year. In addition, numerous individuals were turned away from shelter due to limited capacity.
Philadelphia has a 23 percent poverty rate, one of the highest in the nation. Of that 26 percent, over half (11.1 percent) are living in deep poverty, with incomes below 50 percent of the federal poverty limit.
Philadelphia is experiencing a national opioid crisis, and individuals experiencing homelessness are at an increased risk for substance use disorders and drug overdose, a risk amplified in Philadelphia given the low cost and high potency of fentanyl and heroin sold on our streets.
