If you\u2019ve ever heard of rocker Jon Bon Jovi\u2019s philanthropy on behalf of a Philadelphia non-profit that creates permanent housing and support resources for the city\u2019s homeless population, that was Project HOME<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The HOME stands for Housing, Opportunities, Medical and Education. It makes sense that Housing is first in the list, because many homeless advocates consider stable housing to be the most pivotal initial step to getting homeless Americans back on their feet.<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s mission statement: \u201cThe mission of the Project HOME community is to empower adults, children, and families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, to alleviate the underlying causes of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as individuals and as members of the broader society. We strive to create a safe and respectful environment where we support each other in our struggles for self-esteem, recovery, and the confidence to move toward self-actualization.\u201d<\/p>\n
