SELF is a 501 (c) (3 ) human services agency that provides emergency and permanent supportive housing, housing-focused case management, mentoring, and other vital services and resources for Philadelphia's most vulnerable communities.
Our Services Approach
Since our founding over three decades ago, SELF has led the way in developing effective programming for Philadelphia's homeless. We continue to identify innovative solutions to end homelessness and improve the delivery of services within the city's emergency shelter system.
Over the last three decades, hundreds have volunteered, donated items and/or financially supported our programs and participants. To all who have given back, we thank you!
The Outreach Team provides support and an array of services designed to help make the transition from the streets (homelessness) to emergency housing a little easier. The team assesses the participants’ needs to develop the skills necessary to transition to emergency housing independent and permanent housing.
