Our Brother's Place creating one shithole at a time.

The Salvation Army Gateway Service Center has been re-named Our Brother's Place (OBP) and evolved as the result of public and private ideas and goals, both altruistic and economic.Also because like any Shelter-a good idea turns into shit,by those running the place. In the spring of 1993, the government of the City of Philadelphia signed a contract with the Salvation Army to run Gateway. Before that it was known as Edith Keelers 21 Street Mission

Conceived as a humane alternative to the old city system of temporary housing, OBP was intended to serve as an entry level shelter for the hardcore homeless population of Philadelphia.What it turns,it's a place where Frankenstein totem headed bitches like Sandra Alexandra,can deside who stays and who can't,depending on favors given per day. The center runs two programs: a shelter capable of hosusing 150 residents nightly and a day program serving upto 100 people per day.Two hundred in they sleep on atop another.

Admission to the shelter is controlled by the city Office of Service to the Homeless and Adults (OSHA). OBP is classified as a low demand shelter, which means that the men who live at OBP do not have to be drug and alcohol free ("clean and sober") to stay.Nor sane,like the staff,who insane. The center is geared towards healthy young and middle-aged individuals who are difficult to help in traditional shelter programs, but is meant to be a short-term stop on the way to more permanent living situations.Also there is a low demand,because of all the awfell cotts,with huge holes in them,plus all the stinky socks conficated by Paul the Defendor Reilly.

The program works to help residents address their housing and addiction problems, and works to facilitate long-term solutions. Residents stay in the shelter for an average of 60-90 days and some stay as long as 180 days-unless Sandra cooks an excuse like your POS ran out,for no reason or one there drug stealling security members,got high your proscription drugs.

The day program at OBP is open to any adult homeless men. The day program, like the shelter program, seeks to affirm the dignity of the individual, to respect the individual's needs, and to assist each person in meeting their needs for addiction counseling, medical care, social and vocational skills, or other types of services.They have a library for residents to use, “Don’t you have books? You must have books.”One traveller asked,thinking he was the far distant future. “Books?” answers one of the Eloi. “Yes, we have books at OBP.” He offers to take the Time Traveler to see their books. the Time Traveler asks ''WhatS OBP ?'' Elio ''Here.OPB is here.''

In addition to facilities to care for basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, the building that houses OBP contains space for life-enriching activities. There is a classroom where drug and alcohol recovery support groups are held, and where program participants can work towards a GED.Right we help to do nothing for residence like Daivid Brinkly and Jamall,who walk the streets all day,getting apsolutely no help what so ever.

The designers and builders of OBP also included facilities for the provision of medical services to a population desperately in need of such services. In the shelter's own medical clinic space, providers from JeffHOPE and Fairmount Medical Center administer to the health needs of people who come to Gateway. JeffHOPE runs this medical clinic every Thursday evening in northern Philadelphia near Chinatown. In one given night some 15-30 patients are treated

From JAH, take 11th Street, past Vine Street, to Hamilton Street and turn right. Take Hamilton Street, across 10th Street and under the railroad trestle, to 9th Street and turn left. Gateway is the red building on the left. Take 9th Street to the shelter’s gated parking lot, which is directly ahead. Enter the shelter through the courtyard at the north-east corner of the building, tell the staff worker that you are from JeffHOPE, and ask him or her to open the parking lot’s gate. The JeffHOPE clinic is held in the southwest corner of the building.
