Vision Statement
We envision a Pennsylvania in which there are no homeless people. Each person will have the support services needed to live as independently as possible in permanent housing of his or her choice. Housing will be accessible, affordable and integrated in the community. The mainstream services will be adequate, well-coordinated and consumer-driven. All housing and services will be offered with dignity and respect.
