SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PathWays
PA will serve homeless parenting and
non-parenting young women age 16–21.
Over the next 12 months, they will serve
10 residential homeless young women
in the city of Philadelphia, PA.
The goal of PathWays PA’s TLP
program is to support homeless youth
with positive adult supervision while
supporting them in building the assets,
strengths, and resources necessary for
successful independence. Youth will be
housed in five one-bedroom apartments.
While in the program, the youth will
build life skills and carry out
developmental tasks to gain the capacity
for independent living and address their
assessed/identified needs. They will
build assets and strengthen protective
factors that reduce the impact of prior
trauma (e.g., domestic violence) and
reduce the harm of high-risk behaviors
through gaining skills in money
management, budgeting, consumer
education, and use of credit; building
life skills and interpersonal skills (and
parenting, as appropriate); acquiring
their high school diploma or equivalent

(e.g., GED); strengthening job attainment
skills, and improving their mental and
physical health.
PathWays PA TLP staff will work
with each youth in the context of their
experience (e.g., domestic violence) to
minimize the impact of trauma and to
develop coping skills through a
Personalized Empowerment Plan (PEP).
The PEP will identify their pathway for
transitioning from supervised
participation in the program to
independent living or another
appropriate living arrangement. As part
of this plan, staff will facilitate
connections with agencies,
organizations, and resources in
Philadelphia that will assist in the
youth’s transition to independence and
create a strong plan for aftercare
support.
