Offering Safe Support Services & Bridging Resource Gaps

“Your daughter has Pediatric Parkinson’s disease.”

The diagnosis came as a shock to “Ed” and “Jenna”*, who had noticed that their youngest daughter, “Katie” – age 1, was having hand and eye coordination issues.  They never even considered such a serious illness, nor did they even know much about it.

Since that time, though, they have both united in giving their daughter the best care possible.  Which would have seemed impossible just two years prior when they were living on the streets, and Jenna was pregnant with their first child, “April.”  They had been living with family, but when that family was evicted from their home, the couple felt that they had no other options.  Until they heard about Sisters Place.  They moved into their housing in September 2019, and Jenna had April in March 2020.

How We Help

Safe Space at Sisters Place

Staff provides informal mental health support and listens to individuals’ needs and concerns. This acute and short-term service is a bridge to connect community members with social service resources in the Greater Pittsburgh Area that meet their needs. 

Supportive Housing

HUD partially subsidizes this housing program, and referrals are received from Allegheny Link. The families referred to this program are street or chronically homeless, and a member has a disability.
