Since July 2021, LISC Philadelphia and six members of the Latino Equitable Development Collective (LEDC) have been collaborating to tackle The Family Stability Challenge, an opportunity from The Promise PHL, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, and the City of Philadelphia. Our partners include Ceiba, Xiente, Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Esperanza, HACE and Asociacion Puertorriquenos en Marcha.? ? ?? Millions of dollars in public benefits and tax credits are left on the table each year by residents who don’t know they are eligible, or don’t know where to get connected; the Family Stability Challenge has aimed to address this problem. Critical benefits include nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC, housing benefits to help cover energy bills and rent, Medicaid and social security, valuable tax credits like the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, services like Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, housing counseling, childcare, legal aid – and much more.? ? With $3.5 million invested over the past three years from The Promise, the LEDC has connected more than 37,000 people and their families to 60,000 benefits, services, and tax credits valued at $12 million.??? ? Through a place-based, collective service delivery model, the LEDC network ensures that residents can walk into any door and have access to the spectrum of services provided by all 6 agencies. LISC is supporting the collaborative as a co-convener and data backbone, providing tools and training for data collection and inter-agency client service referrals.? ?
