People's Emergency Center is the oldest and most comprehensive service
agency serving homeless women, children and teens in Pennsylvania. Since
1972, PEC has helped thousands of abused, abandoned and homeless women and
children to rebuild lives of dignity through programs that help them to help
themselves. PEC accomplishes this through a comprehensive array of services
which includes: emergency shelter, food and clothing; intensive case
management and social services; parenting education; health, nutrition, and
lifeskills workshops; welfare-to-work services; transitional housing; and
help in obtaining permanent housing, including the creation of housing
units.
People's Emergency Center Community Development Corporation (PECCDC) was
created in 1992 with a mission to promote the strategic revitalization of
neighborhoods in West Powelton while also providing housing opportunities
for PEC clients. As a catalyst for change, PECCDC leverages neighborhood
assets, forges strategic partnerships and responds directly to the needs of
the community to bring a holistic approach to neighborhood revitalization.
PECCDC now provides a wide range of neighborhood preservation, community
building, and commercial development programs and projects to transform our
neighborhood into a "Community of Choice."
