Health/Mental Retardation and Community and its accomplishments over the past Behavioral Health, Commonwealth of PA, two years, as well as an overview of the as well as numerous unnamed friends many services we provide to the citizens and benefactors. of Philadelphia. Edward C. Mintzer, Jr. Raymond A. Pescatore Chairman, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer 2 27 Years of Service to our Community. Our beginnings can be traced back to the early 1960s when a presidential panel presented a national plan that established a trend away from over-utilization of large institutions and toward community care. A subsequent Act of Congress provided funds to build community facilities, and a network of community-based programs was established in the Commonwealth by the Pennsylvania Mental Health/Mental Retardation Act of 1966. Initially, these programs were offered through institution- based grantees that were given responsibility for designated areas called "Catchments." In 1979, the program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital was transferred to a community- based non-profit organization, Citizens Acting Together Can Help, Inc. The organization’s mission is to care for the vulnerable, honor the life and dignity of all, and engage community in compassionate service and advocacy. At CATCH we promote the concept of recovery and self-determination. The notion of recovery from mental illness refers to a process by which persons create a meaningful, productive life despite the challenges the illness poses (Anthony, Cohen, Farkas, & Gagne, 2002; Deegan, 1988). Self-determination refers to the right of individuals to have full power over their own lives, encompassing concepts that are central to existence in a democratic society, including freedom of choice, civil rights, independence and self-direction (Cook & Jonikas, 2000). Our consumers range from those making the transition from restricted institutional environments, to young children making the sometimes difficult adjustment to school and to the elderly with their unique needs. 3 Our programs are woven into the fabric of the community and work in conjunction with community businesses, social organizations, community centers and schools. It is our belief that the services and supports we provide to people with mental illnesses will lead to a full, productive life with meaning and purpose. While the need for CATCH services grows, the means by which we provide services is constantly changing. National headlines speak of a "crisis in healthcare" and we have been on the leading edge of adapting to this changing environment. Through careful management, CATCH Inc. has been able to administer our funding and payer resources to maximize the quality of care. In many cases, our efforts have resulted in reduced and contained costs. And our administration continues to develop and refine its systems to be accountable and competitive in the cost-conscious healthcare delivery environment of the 21st Century. 4 Programs, Sites & Locations CATCH programs are found throughout the City, and our service sites are woven into the fabric of the communities we serve.

What is on the Other Side of the Tracks?

Studies of segregation, an inherently spatial concept, have relied on techniques that are aspatial introduce an unknown amount of error into their results. This project extends standard spatial analytic techniques to the sociological study of racial segregation, using Philadelphia as its case study. By introducing non-euclidean kernel density analysis to the study of racial segregation, the project explores how a more visual and more spatially informed

  • The Problem of the Ages: Prostitution in the Philadelphia Imagination, 1880-1940
    THE PROBLEM OF THE AGES: PROSTITUTION IN THE PHILADELPHIA IMAGINATION, 1880-1940 A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by James H. Adams May, 2009 ii © by James H. Adams 2009 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Title: The Problem of the Ages: Prostitution in the Philadelphia Imagination, 1880-1940 Candidates Name: James H. Adams Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2009 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Mark Haller An ever-present figure throughout much of the nineteenth century, the prostitute existed in a state divorced from “traditional” womanhood as a shadowy yet “necessary” evil, and was largely seen as a static element of the city. The archetypes of the “endangered maiden” and the “fallen woman” were discursive creations evolving from an inchoate form to a more sharply defined state that were designed to explain the prostitute’s continued existence despite the moral objections voiced by religious and social reformers. These archetypes functioned in an agrarian/proto-industrial society; however, under pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and population mobility, these archetypes were gradually supplanted by sharper, more emotionally loaded archetypes such as the “White Slave” and the trope of the “Vice Syndicate” to explain the prostitute. In this manner Progressive-Era social and moral reformers could interpret prostitution in general and the prostitute in particular within the framework of their understanding of a contentious social environment. In moving away from a religious framework towards a more scientific interpretation, the concept of prostitution evolved from a moral failing to a status analogous to a disease that infected the social body of the state.

  • Philadelphia
    A report from March 2016 Katye Martens/The Pew Charitable Trusts Philadelphia: The State of the City A 2016 Update Overview Philadelphia in 2016 is a growing city undergoing a sweeping transformation, most evident in the age and diversity of those who live here. The city’s population has risen for nine consecutive years, up another 5,880 in the most recent count. The increase since 2006 stands at 78,732, a stark reversal after a decrease of nearly 600,000 over the previous five decades. More compelling, though, are some of the factors that underlie the city’s growth. One is age. As the United States has gotten older, Philadelphia has become younger—largely because of the growth of the city’s young adult population, the much-discussed millennials. A decade ago, Philadelphia had a median age of 35.3, only a year below the nation’s 36.4. In the most recent census, the city’s age was down to 33.8, while the national figure had risen to 37.7—a difference of nearly four years. Remarkably, this happened over a time in which the number of children in the city was declining. Philadelphia is again a city of immigrants, as it had been for most of its history—but not for much of the 20th century. As recently as 1990, Philadelphia had barely more than 100,000 foreign-born residents. Today, it has in excess of 200,000, mostly from Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, with no single nationality accounting for more than 13 percent of the whole.

The numbers tell the story of a city facing tremendous challenges, not just from the pandemic and its economic impact but from rising drug overdose deaths and gun violence as well. Philadelphia recorded more than 96,000 COVID-19 cases and 2,500 deaths from the virus in 2020, with the death toll surpassing 3,000 by mid-February 2021.
