Getting From Point A to Point C

Atunse Restore Philly is WBB’s multi-layered housing stabilization initiative dedicated to ensuring safe, secure, and sustainable housing pathways for justice-impacted individuals and families affected by incarceration, homelessness, and systemic disadvantage. Atunse offers targeted supports such as crisis housing navigation, landlord mediation, documentation assistance, stabilization planning, resource coordination, and mental wellness integration. By addressing the foundational role of housing in community restoration and reentry success, Atunse reduces instability, fosters community belonging, and creates the conditions necessary for long-term independence.

Womxn Beyond Borders Inc., under the innovative direction of Executive Director and Founder Sappho R. Fulton, MA, MSW, Ph.D. (ABD), is a Philadelphia-based organization dedicated to community restoration and serving some of the city’s most vulnerable and historically marginalized populations. Founded in 2018, WBB develops programming grounded in lived experience and a trauma-informed, healing-centered framework designed to meet the layered needs of justice-impacted individuals, returning citizens, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Through our two core program pillars—Empowered Beyond The Walls, a comprehensive workforce development and reentry pathway, and Atunse Restore Philly, a multi-layered housing stabilization initiative—WBB delivers an integrated network of wraparound supports, including mental health and emotional wellness care, family healing and reunification services, GED preparation, crisis intervention, service coordination, and trauma-responsive case management. Rather than leaving participants to navigate fragmented systems alone, WBB provides a coordinated ecosystem of consistent, long-term support that promotes stability, dignity, and sustainable progress. As we advance our 2026 Capacity Building Initiative, WBB is expanding its collaborative partnerships with community-based organizations, behavioral health providers, housing agencies, workforce development entities, youth-serving agencies, and domestic-violence resource networks across Philadelphia. This strengthened infrastructure and unified service model position WBB for a projected 75% increase in organizational reach and overall program effectiveness. Through enhanced systems, evidence-informed practices, and integrated wraparound supports, WBB anticipates measurable outcomes including reduced recidivism, increased job placement and retention, improved housing stability, strengthened family reunification, and expanded access to wellness and educational resources. Each advancement reinforces our commitment to eradicating systemic barriers and transforming lived experience into stability, opportunity, and community restoration.
