From @TheAthleticFC: World Cup star Michael Olise joined a pick-up match in New York City wearing just socks on his feet. It gave a group of amateur players a story they will retell to their friends for years to come. nyti.ms/4wnSQYA

A house that's been in @craigmelvin family since it was built in 1950 was put up for auction to pay for medical bills — but Craig’s family bought it back. Now it's being leased to a nonprofit called Family Promise to provide transitional housing for families in need.

We are proud to have partnered with @RepSherrill on Tuesday to celebrate the reintroduction of the Homeless Children & Youth Act alongside many of our peers. We look forward to a future where everyone facing homelessness & housing instability can access vital federal resources!
Over 80% of children experiencing homelessness fall in the gaps of federal definitions of homelessness, making it hard to access resources. I reintroduced the Homeless Children & Youth Act to fix disparities across agencies & provide flexibility to communities using federal funds

Community is at the heart of our IKEA South Philadelphia co-workers. That’s why our co-workers spent their time volunteering at Cathedral Kitchen, @fpnational and handing out surprises to customers during our pop-up shop in Cherry Hill! 💙

"I grew up getting evicted every other year, moving schools, didn't really know what having a steady home was before." Mom at @fpnational Affiliate. Social safety nets don't prioritize families experiencing homelessness often making children veterans of homelessness. #SupportHCYA
