Our Vision

We envision a world in which homelessness is eliminated as we live our lives with a sense of responsibility toward one another. We see a world in which domestic safety, economic security and stability are achievable.

Our Mission

NPIHN's mission is to marshal resources and volunteers among the diverse congregations and communities of Northwest Philadelphia in direct response to the needs of homeless families for temporary shelter, encouragement, and support. By working to increase awareness of the problems of poverty and homelessness, our organization seeks to promote lasting solutions to homelessness and its underlying causes.

“At first everybody would just listen! They reassured me that this situation I was in was not the end of the world. They would tell me that I'm a nice person and that my kids were well mannered. They made me feel better about myself.”
