Project HOME, the longtime non-profit organization fighting homelessness in Philadelphia, commemorated its newest facility in the city's troubled Kensington section on Thursday.
The Inn of Amazing Mercy will offer shelter, healthcare, and drug rehab for the homeless living in ground zero of Philadelphia's ongoing opioid crisis.
Rick Peterson, a recovering heroin addict who has been homeless for 35 years, called the new center "fantastic." The opening of Inn of Amazing Mercy was commemorated Thursday with a ceremony attended by big-money donors, including iconic rock star Jon Bon Jovi who called the center a sign of hope.
