The People Concern
The People Concern believes no one should have to live on the street or in a violent household. Our staff, volunteers and those we serve work together to address the effects of homelessness, poverty, mental and physical illness, abuse and addiction. We also work to educate the broader community and improve public policy.

LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengePermanent Supportive Housing Plus (PSH+) pilot program
The People Concern is an industry leader in reaching people experiencing chronic homelessness, providing them with services and housing, and then assisting them in retaining that housing. While 92% of the people we house do retain their housing, there is a subset of the population for whom the current model is not effective. We propose that the solution to this problem is Permanent Supportive Housing Plus (PSH+), where high-acuity individuals in our programs will have access to a higher level of care than the current system supports.
