The Philadelphia Benefits Access Coalition is a forum where Philadelphia based social service providers, case managers, enrollment specialists, policy analysts, community organizations and residents can come together to:

• Learn about program eligibility and application requirements;
• Keep up-to-date on any proposed changes at the federal and state level;
• Create networks to share problems encountered in the field and best practices;
• Work with legislators and policymakers to improve access to critical social safety net programs.

The Coalition will offer bi-monthly training sessions in 2018. Come share your ideas for future training topics!
