Affordable Housing

Dignity Housing provides housing and services that stabilize, enhance life skills, and provide opportunities for independent living.  This progression begins in one of the organization's transitional housing programs.  Each of the following programs is designed to meet the varying needs of our tenant population.

 

Dignity II-The Dignity II development consists of 16 gated apartment units located in three adjacent buildings in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. The program provides intense supportive services within a highly structured environment. The service design is divided into five (5) phases – from stabilization to self-sufficiency. All DII families are headed by single mothers recovering from substance abuse and/or domestic violence situations. Families reside at Dignity II for a period of 18-24 months. 

 

Dignity III: BOSS (Better Options for Self Sufficiency) consists of 8 units of housing located in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.  The program has an intensive workforce development /education focus geared toward enhancing employment outcomes for residents. Dignity III residents may receive housing and supportive services for up to 24 months.   

 

ESP: ESP (Enhanced Services Project) serves 35 families whose head-of-household has one or more of the following: a history of substance abuse, a mental health or physical disability, or an HIV-positive diagnosis. ESP tenants receive follow-up and intervention services from Dignity staff and collaborative partners that focus on their special needs.  Tenants are linked with a variety of mental health and therapeutic service organizations, and their participation in these programs is monitored by Dignity staff. ESP offers longer-term housing in which residents may remain for up to five years. 

 

 

Our units are kept up to standards by an in-house property management team:

We have a full-time, 5 staff-member property management team that works to maintain our properties and is also available 24 hours, in case of emergencies.
