In Philadelphia, senior women 60 years and older are one of the fastest-growing populations experiencing homelessness. Rising rents, fixed incomes, and unexpected medical costs are forcing too many of our mothers, grandmothers, and neighbors into unsafe and unstable conditions.

Potter’s House Mission (PHM) is here to change that — but we can’t do it without your help.

Why Your Support Matters

At Potter's House Mission, we provide:

Rental Assistance so senior women can transition from homelessness to stable housing.

Security Deposits to help them secure safe apartments after years of instability.

Supportive Case Management to ensure their health, safety, and dignity are prioritized.

Staff Support to keep our dedicated team serving on the frontlines of this crisis.

Your donation to our non-profit (501 C-3 tax-exempt) organization ensures that elder women in our community are not forgotten.

️ Real Stories of Impact

Ms. Johnson, age 64

"After my husband passed, I couldn’t keep up with rent on just my Social Security. I lived in my car for three months before PHM helped me with a deposit and rental support. Today, I have a safe apartment and my first good night’s sleep in years. I’ll never forget the kindness that made this possible."

Ms. Rivera, age 67

"I worked my whole life as a caregiver, but when my health declined, I couldn’t afford housing. PHM gave me more than a roof — they connected me to medical care and helped me regain my dignity. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be."

Ms. Brown, age 72

"I raised four kids in Philadelphia, but rising rents pushed me out of the neighborhood I’ve loved my whole life. Thanks to PHM, I received rental assistance and now live in stable housing where my grandkids visit every weekend. I finally feel like myself again."
