– PHC’s mission –
Our Mission
Empowering individuals experiencing houselessness 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, peer mentors, shelter services, and housing resources with case management. Utilizing trauma-informed care, a DEI lens, and other current best practices, we are ending houselessness and changing the lives of the friends we serve.
COMMITMENT TO DEI
