PHLCares has donated $500,000 to Hope 220, a low-barrier transitional housing facility for women in Philadelphia. This initiative, involving local businesses and government entities, responds to Mayor Cherelle Parker's executive order aimed at improving homelessness services.

Hope 220, located at 220 N. Broad St. and managed by the Salvation Army, will offer 92 beds and a full-time physician's assistant to enhance health outcomes. The facility is part of the city's One Philly homelessness plan, which identifies a need for 1,000 additional shelter beds. The approach seeks to address immediate shelter needs and the root causes of homelessness in the area.
