PEC presses youth homeless issue to PA governor candidates

​In November 2022, Pennsylvania voters will elect a new Governor. How will the next Governor support Pennsylvania’s 40,000 children and youth experiencing homelessness?

People’s Emergency Center (PEC) and its partners have organized a campaign called Children Cannot Wait to seek responses to that question from candidates for office.

In the last two years, PEC’s leadership forums featured national, state, and local leadership who offered recommendations on how best to support children and youth experiencing homelessness. The policy brief is available here.

Action Step: Contact Gubernatorial Candidates Doug Mastriano and Josh Shapiro and tell them to endorse the campaign. Email through these key staff members: 

    Campaign of Doug Mastriano: Kimberly Orr.
    Campaign of Josh Shapiro: Larry Hailsham.
