Mens Shelter in Philadelphia |Philly House

# data[].attributes.body
The Next Level Program is a twelve-month transitional housing program available to emergency shelter guests that are seeking stability, spiritual development, and long-term success.

The goal of the program is to equip homeless men with the practical and spiritual life skills they need to be self-sufficient individuals and positive contributors to society.

Men in the Next Level Program have the potential to maintain up to a one-year residency in semi-private living quarters on the Mission’s fourth floor.

To enter the Next Level Program residents, have verified full-time employment or have income from other sources. Each resident is expected to pay a program fee of 40% of their monthly income. Philly House sets up a savings escrow account for each resident by depositing 20% of the program fee while living the program. When a man leaves the program, he receives these funds.

The Next Level Program is individualized to meet the unique needs of each participant. Case management, participating in a church community and volunteering to serve in their community are some of central components to the program.

THE NEXT LEVEL PROGRAM HELPS MEN BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD AND WITH EACH OTHER.

How It Works

Back on My Feet recruits individuals at homeless or addiction and treatment facilities around the country. These individuals - known as members - commit to run three early mornings a week. Goals are set and achieved with one mile becoming two, two becoming three and so on, and after 30 days with 90%, their first milestone: they earn the opportunity to move into Next Steps.

In Next Steps, members work with Back on My Feet program staff to develop a personal road map to independence. Each member attends financial literacy classes and job skills training provided through partnerships with our corporate partners. Members can earn financial aid to remove barriers to employment and housing such as work supplies, transportation and security deposits. Members who achieve employment and housing become Alumni Members.

Who We Serve

No matter our circumstances, Back on My Feet shows that something as seemingly simple as running can strengthen individuals, build communities and transform lives.

Our members are individuals currently experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. To join, members must be referred by one of our facility or referral partners. Members range in age from 18 to over 65.25% of our members are veterans. 53% are African American, 31% Caucasian and 14% Hispanic. Some members have a college education, while others are working on their GED. Most of our members have families, with 60% having children, and we are proud to have Back on My Feet reunite them around something positive.

Most of the world continues to use outdated education models and hiring practices, yet expects more diverse, inventive, and motivated tech talent. We believe in hiring differently. We’re on a mission to connect passionate, qualified individuals with employers in need of skilled tech talent. We offer FREE tech education and job-readiness training. Qualified individuals are matched with an apprenticeship at one of our employer partners who need tech talent, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to fresh new start-ups. More than four out of five of our apprenticeships result in a full-time job offer, and most LaunchCoders double their previous salary after landing a job.

Taking Learning to the Next Level

At LaunchCode, we know that while talent is widely distributed among the population, opportunity is not. We aim to change that by making quality tech education based on job market needs free and accessible. Learning skills that lead to an in-demand job in technology shouldn't demand years of your life, piles of money up front, or part of your paycheck down the road - it should be available to all those who have the passion, drive, and aptitude to build the skills and land the job, regardless of one's background. We offer part- and full-time courses to take you from zero experience to ready for your first job in tech in months, not years.

Together we manage behavioral health benefits for Philadelphia residents who receive Medical Assistance (MA), also known as Medicaid, through the PA Medicaid program, called HealthChoices.

JustCare® provides individualized care management services to achieve these goals. JustCare® has consistently demonstrated its ability to decrease length of stay in out-of-home placements and to substantially reduce recidivism.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
JustCare® provides individualized care management services to achieve these goals. JustCare® has consistently demonstrated its ability to decrease length of stay in out-of-home placements and to substantially reduce recidivism. Thus, a tremendous savings of public spending is achieved along with improvements to public safety. Most importantly, youth are positively redirected from a trajectory of recurrent institutionalization.

JustCare® ensures that gains made in placement endure at home by working on the transition plan throughout the residential stay. We ensure that aftercare is not an afterthought. Continuing care planning begins at the beginning of the residential stay, not at the end.

The focus is on improving relational and behavioral problems in the family system. JusticeWorks' staff helps families understand what their children are going through during their placement, demystifying placement language and coordinating visits and home-passes. Staff work to help families resolve other issues in the home (such as substance abuse, job or economic problems, mental health concerns, housing, etc.) that can serve as obstacles for the youth's successful re-entry. Understanding the relief a family may experience when a child is in placement, staff builds on the family's strengths so they feel more confident in their parenting roles when the child returns home. Special attention is paid to helping parents create boundaries and avoid power struggles.

Collaboration from family members and other stakeholders is critical to assure that a child or youth does not get "lost in the system" and has the best chance for continuing success. Well before the child's returning home, staff work with a multidisciplinary team to develop a comprehensive reintegration plan. The reintegration plan is cognizant of family strengths and community resources. Key areas for change and the 'triggers' for negative behavior are identified. For several months after a youth's return, our staff provide proactive and vigilant support and supervision. Staff work non-traditional hours, with an emphasis on being in the home, school and community to give real-time support and guidance where it is needed.

Discover "The Power of Choice" in Recovery

If you want to address any addiction or harmful habit, SMART Recovery can help. Major changes can be overwhelming. SMART's practical tools and social supports are proven effective to support and sustain successful long-term life change.

Harmful habits include substance addictions (to alcohol and other drugs), as well as activity addictions (to behaviors like sex, relationships, spending, gambling, eating, exercise, and self-injury). No matter your harmful habit, SMART can help you change it.

SMART is not just any mutual-support program. Our science-based approach emphasizes self-empowerment and self-reliance. There's no lifetime commitment; you decide when the time is right to move on. You choose how to personalize your own plan for successful change. SMART can be used both as a stand-alone program or in combination with other recovery paths. SMART Recovery recognizes the only one who can become truly expert on your recovery is you.

Video is optional but can be used

Real names do not have to be used and are not required

Audio can be muted and you are not required to share

Please be respectful of all participants just as you would in any other meeting or recovery space - we are all in this together

Frequently Asked Questions

We are hosting meetings at 9AM, 12PM, 3PM, 6PM, 9PM, and 11PM EST currently. We may also add additional meeting times in the future as capacity needs grow. As meetings continue to get cancelled, please share this information with your networks and keep coming back. Full details are here: https://unityrecovery.org/digital-recovery-meetings

These are open all-recovery meetings, which means people in or supportive of recovery from any type of behavioral health disorder or quality of life concern are welcome. No matter the program, pathway, or type of recovery you are in, this is a meeting for you. As a reminder, we typically introduce ourselves as "Hello, My name is ____ and I am a person in recovery", but feel free to identify however is comfortable for you.

If anyone you know, or you yourself, needs extra support, please feel to message the meeting facilitator on the platform, or send an email to contact@unityrecovery.org and we'll get you connected to a peer support specialist ASAP

Anyone can choose to speak or share in a group, but no one is required to do so. Silently experiencing what is being shared has great value by itself.

When sharing in meetings, we encourage you to keep the focus on personal experience. If giving feedback to other participants, we ask that you keep the feedback free of judgment and focused on strengths and support.

Any harmful (i.e. derogatory or confrontational) language or behavior directed toward anyone in our community will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from the meeting. Such language includes - but is not limited to - expressions of racism, sexism, genderism, classism, or any hostile or purposely stigmatizing language.

While your honesty is encouraged, please be mindful while sharing. For example, your body language or expressing extreme anger or aggression may cause unnecessary stress or trauma for others.

Commenting on anyone else's appearance is inappropriate, even if it is worded in the form of a compliment.

We are committed to making this a safe space for all community members. If you are feeling uncomfortable in a meeting, please reach out to the facilitator or email contact@unityrecovery.org

We encourage everyone to practice patience and tolerance and to keep an open mind, as everyone is in a different place in their recovery. If you disagree with someone, be respectful.

Bigotry or criticism regarding shares on current events. As a reminder, the sanctity of human life and safety is not considered a political issue and may be shared about at any time. Criticizing others for sharing on a topic that is very personal to their lives is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We do not condone and will not accept racism or bigotry of any type in these meetings. In addition, we are providing a general warning to all attendees that minimizing these events is unacceptable in verbal shares. We ask that you respect the experiences of those most affected. If you do not agree with this approach, we are happy to help you find another recovery support meeting.
