FAIRMOUNT - The leader of Project HOME says it’s launching what could be a "game changer" in the battle against opioids and homelessness.
Sister Mary Scullion is the tireless and renowned co-founder of Project HOME, started three decades ago to combat homelessness.Through the years, Project HOME has built 1,000 units of what’s called "supportive housing" for those not just homeless, but often struggling with addiction.
Scullion says Project HOME is taking the next step. "This collaborative provides linkages between street outreach, the hospitals, treatment and a place to live."Sitting under a white tent, in the middle of Fairmount Avenue Wednesday, are Ira Lubert and Pam Estadt.
