Nurturing Families, Strengthening Neighborhoods, Driving Change.

People’s Emergency Center (PEC) nurtures families, strengthens neighborhoods, and drives change. We are committed to increasing equity and opportunity throughout our entire community. We provide comprehensive supportive services to homeless women and their children, revitalize our West Philadelphia neighborhood, and advocate for social justice.

People’s Emergency Center Community Development Corporation (PECCDC) is the real estate arm of PEC. On its own, or through contractual relationships, PECCDC acquires, sells, rents, rehabilitates and manages properties in the West Philadelphia community in which PEC carries out its programs and services.
