People's Emergency Center

People’s Emergency Center (PEC) empowers communities by providing housing, social services, and quality of life supports that promote individual self-sufficiency and sustainable economic development for neighborhoods.For families and youth experiencing homelessness, we offer housing, social services, access to early childhood education, and educational programs in career training, parenting, financial literacy, life skills, and technology. The PEC Community Development Corporation programs respond to community needs and build on neighborhood assets to help bridge the digital divide, expand mixed-income housing opportunities, stimulate economic growth, create wealth, and improve the quality of life for all West Philadelphia residents.PEC advocates for urgently needed public policy changes on behalf of families and youth experiencing homelessness and the neighborhoods we serve. We have worked successfully with both local and national government agencies to advance legislation and budgets that prioritize these communities.Website: www.pec-cares.orgFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PeoplesEmergencyCenterTwitter: @PECCaresPhilly
