Meet Lisa*

For the first time in our lives, an unanticipated situation found my husband and me unsure about where we would live. It was very stressful. While family and friends offered to take us in, they lived too far away. We needed stability, a secure place to call our own, in order to feel like we could navigate our lives.

We found something unique with Penn Foundation. Penn Foundation’s Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team helped us to create a safe home for ourselves and our beloved dog. The team treated us with respect and kindness and considered our needs and capabilities when helping us secure a residence.

ACT also helped to guide me back to the me that had gotten lost. The team helped me to focus on some life issues that I needed to address. I made appointments with doctors and dentist, communicated with family and friends, and worked on skills that I put aside until I was in a stable living situation. I once again had goals, which was life-affirming. ACT is my safe place.

I would say that Penn Foundation:

  • Rescues people, coming into their lives during difficult times and bringing them back to a place of stability
  • Repairs people, working in partnership with people to address their challenges and heal their pain
  • Renews them, helping to relieve burdens and scars and re-establish a meaningful life
  • Remains, always being a steady presence for those in need

In the chaos of our world, Penn Foundation is a safe, reliable place of hope for those who are struggling.
