Most of these persons housed by 1260 HDC may have behavioral health issues or other disabilities, and may have been previously homeless. Most referrals to 1260 HDC come from the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), which establishes the criteria for access to the housing, maintains the list of persons waiting for housing, and monitors the behavioral health services which may be needed by each resident.Office Hours:
