Strengthening Our Community

Friends Association is committed to helping homeless or near homeless families stabilize their lives and find or maintain permanent housing. We are located in Chester County, an affluent area where affordable housing is scarce and many families struggle to pay their rent. For an impoverished family, an unexpected expense or a decrease in income can result in eviction and homelessness.
Through our shelter and homeless prevention programs we address the needs of a wide range of families, from those who have become homeless to those who only need rental assistance for a limited time to retain their permanent housing. More...
