OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Together, we can help mitigate the current homelessness crisis and make a difference in someone's life.
. . . Because everyone deserves to be housed, healthy, and safe.
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.
100% of the profits from sales at the Studio 526 Gallery

that are helping mitigate homelessness.
Combining innovative thinking, advanced computer technologies and made-to-order manufacturing protocols, has proven to be a successful new way that contemporary art can help our most vulnerable neighbors and benefit our society.
STUDIO 526
The People Concern's STUDIO 526 community arts and cultural support program is helping mitigate homelessness. The program provides working studio spaces for people experiencing homelessness or living in poverty. 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.
