Services provided by PPP have expanded greatly since the founding of the organization
Prevention Point Philadelphia (PPP) was founded by ACT UP Philadelphia, and began operations in North Philadelphia in 1991. At the time, PPP was an underground, grassroots outgrowth of the Philadelphia chapter of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power). PPP was also supported by the Friends Neighborhood Guild.
Since 1992, the breadth of services we provide or community has expanded to include: case management, medical care, overdose prevention education, medication assisted treatment, and naloxone distribution. In addition, we offer housing, meals, and mail services for people facing housing instability.
