BOMA Members:
The Shared Public Spaces Committee is making progress!
A number of our BOMA Members are actively involved in helping make change happen by serving on the committee.
The goal is simple.
Improving the quality of life for everyone involved.

Homeless Outreach social workers, accompanied by a Philadelphia Police Officer, has provided the impetuous needed for individuals to accept the help they so desperately require. Thank you for your generosity. Together we can make a difference. BOMA Philadelphia thanks all of our member buildings that have willingly contributed to this initiative.

The Shared Public Spaces Committee is focused on the following areas:

Who to Call
Housing Chronically Homeless People
The City and private partnerships are committed to developing adequate housing for those in need. While much progress has been made there is much more work to do in this area.
Low Barrier Employment
In a majority of situations, employment is the key to long term success. Low barrier employment is a vital component. The City of Philadelphia has partnered with First Step Staffing to provide the support and job opportunities for those individuals that need just a little extra guidance when reentering the workforce.
