ACHIEVEability Information

Since 1981, ACHIEVEability has partnered with Philadelphians to provide services that build the foundation for self-sufficiency and long-term success. We believe that an education, a home, a good job, a safe and vibrant neighborhood, and accountability are crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty. Every year, our core programs reach over 2,800 individuals, including families, business owners, seniors, and neighborhood leaders. In the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, we support families experiencing or at-risk of homelessness by providing affordable housing and a coaching team while they commit to pursuing a post-secondary education to overcome poverty. In ACHIEVEability Connects, we connect residents to services to meet their basic needs and access digital resources. We also improve neighborhood conditions through small business support and corridor management. In WorkSmart West Philly, we partner with our neighbors to help them find jobs and develop workforce skills like digital literacy. Our small and mighty team is community-driven, gritty, compassionate, fired up, transformative, and accountable. We are committed to West Philadelphia and are here to stay.
