– PHC’s mission –
Our Mission
Empowering those experiencing homelessness by meeting them where they are and walking with them on their unique journeys toward stability and self-reliance.
APPROACH
Our multi-pronged approach built upon trusting relationships includes collaborative one-day resource events, a street outreach team, an access center, shelter services, and housing resources with case management. Utilizing trauma-informed care, a DEIB lens, peer support, and other current best practices, we are ending homelessness and changing the lives of the friends we serve.
COMMITMENT TO DEIB

The policies and intent at PHC are to provide equal opportunity for all persons in terms of employment, board participation, and service recipiency—regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, disability, or age. PHC responds affirmatively in its practices.
