Since 1972, PEC has helped thousands of abused, abandoned   and
homeless women and children to rebuild lives 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.  

 PECCDC was created in 1992 with amission 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, communitybuilding, and  commercial development programs and projects to transform West Powelton into a  "Community of Choice."
