93% of the participants in The People Concern's housing program, NEVER EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS AGAIN !
Providing affordable housing is an important priority in helping our homeless neighbors, however, it's only part of the issue. Most homeless individuals experience one or more other debilitating issues, including drug addiction, medical or mental problems, financial issues, and other social issues that need to be addressed.
Helping the homeless community re-enter our main-stream society and become responsible citizens requires multiple-level programs that are individually tailored to address each individual's specific issues and needs.

It helps creative individuals develop their artistic voices, become associated in a community with other artists, and helps make creativity a restorative part of their lives. The program encourages long-term participation and also provides a safe haven for people with mental illness.
