We Need You! Help Us Save Homeless Mothers and Children

By MB -
Niylah
Niylah, her mother and infant brother came to PathWays PA after they became homeless. At first she was shy and quiet, but since moving into a PathWays PA home, Niylah has flourished. She loves to learn and play and is happier than ever in her new home. Her mother is currently attending GED classes at PathWays PA so she can obtain employment and care for Niylah and her baby brother on her own.

Anthony
Anthony's family was homeless after their housing became uninhabitable. He and his sisters were separated from their mother until they found refuge with us. Thanks to PathWays PA's Center for Families group residence, Anthony and his sisters are happily reunited with their mother and are living in a safe, loving environment! His mom is working with the staff at PathWays PA to find gainful employment so that she can become self-sufficient and provide safe housing for her family in the future. In the meantime, Anthony is thriving in his new stable and happy home at PathWays PA.

With your support, children like Niylah and Anthony will have a brighter future! Please give now at https://npo.justgive.org/nonprofits/donate.jsp?ein=23-2001837.

Overlooked and Undercounted: Struggling to Make Ends Meet in Pennsylvania

By -

Census data tells us that 13% of Pennsylvania households live in poverty. In reality, even more households don’t have the income they need to reach self-sufficiency. One in four Pennsylvania households – over 846,000 – lack enough income to cover just the necessities. Since 1997, PathWays PA has worked with Dr. Diana Pearce and the University of Washington to calculate  The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Pennsylvania . Over the last 23 years,  The Self-Sufficiency Standard of Pennsylvania  has documented the continuing increase in the real cost of living, illuminating the economic crunch experienced by so many families today. Since 2010, PathWays PA and the University of Washington have also issued three versions of the  Overlooked and Undercounted  report, which looks at the number of households living above and below self-sufficiency. You can now use the interactive materials below to find out what it takes to be self-sufficient in your county. Click ...
