Intercommunity Action Inc

For over 40 years, Intercommunity Action, Inc. (Interact) has provided assistance to help people live successfully in the community. Interact was established in 1969 as a private, not-for-profit community agency designed to meet the human services needs of the residents of the Andorra, Roxborough, Manayunk, Wissahickon, East Falls, and Nicetown neighborhoods of Northwest Philadelphia. While most of our services are located in these neighborhoods, today we serve residents across Philadelphia and in the suburbs as well.

Interact’ s mission is to provide exemplary behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and aging services for the purpose of assisting people to achieve their maximum potential and enhancing their quality of life. Whether someone needs help staying in their home as they age, recovering from mental illness or substance abuse, or living a full and productive life to the best of that person’s cognitive and intellectual abilities, Interact is proud of the successes achieved by the thousands of people we serve each year.

Interact has more than two dozen individual programs and more than 400 staff working to fulfill our mission and to meet the needs of our consumers. Journey’s Way, our service to older adults, provides programs for active adults ages 55+, affordable housing for lower income adults age 62 and older, and assistive services for more frail elderly. Behavioral Health Services are coordinated through our Greenridge Counseling Center, which serves children and adults in a variety of outpatient, home, school, and community settings. And our services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities include community residential living arrangements, a day activities center, and supportive employment services.
