St. Barnabas Community Resource Center

ECS has transformed St. Barnabas Mission from a 107-bed emergency shelter to a Community Resource Center. At the same time, ECS has expanded its Rapid Rehousing capacity from 20 units to 60 units, giving ECS more capacity to house individuals and families in need than existed with St Barnabas. 

SBCRC is Located at 6006 West Girard Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19151, in the Haddington/Carroll Park Community of West Philadelphia.

It’s a large light green/blue building, with windows clearly marked with our name and logo.

The entrance to the building is on the corner of West Girard Avenue and North Edgewood Street.
