PRC

PRC PRC helps those affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues realize their best selves. Their education. How others see them.

There’s more to health than just, “Are you sick or well?” True wellness goes so much deeper than that. To truly help a person, you must help them on every level, assess and address all the social factors that affect them: Their environment. How they see themselves. But, up against so much, trying to change so many things, we simply cannot do it alone. We need you there, too, fighting right alongside us. At PRC, we believe that everyone – regardless of their situation – has value and potential, and we fight tirelessly to help them realize that, by directly tackling these social factors. With your help, we help our clients realize their best selves. By helping them stabilize their housing. Develop the skills to find and keep a job. Overcome substance and mental health issues. Secure income and healthcare benefits. And, most importantly, by giving them hope, and a path to new opportunities. Together, we can shine a light on the causes that affect our clients and ensure they get the attention and respect they deserve. Because when people have the ability to realize their potential, to lead stronger and more productive lives, they add to – not take away from – the community. So help us improve our community by helping its most vulnerable members.

Housing win!

We are so proud of Dan Howell, Housing Navigation Technician (pictured here) for collaborating across PRC’s programs to support a client to secure housing!

One of our clients had been living in our co-op for nearly a year. He was grateful for the safety and consistency it offered, and he also understood that the co-op was not a long-term option for him. With his housing subsidy set to expire in December 2025, securing permanent housing became an urgent priority.

After being referred to housing navigation services, progress moved quickly. Within three days, he identified and toured a unit he felt strongly connected to. He completed the application immediately and was approved shortly thereafter.

Throughout the process, Dan provided steady support. Dan attended unit viewings alongside the client, maintained consistent communication with the leasing agent, and carefully coordinated each step of the lease-up process to ensure a smooth transition.

Following approval, Dan partnered with PRC’s Emergency Financial Assistance team to secure move-in support and coordinated with a local organization to provide essential household items and furniture at no cost. The client successfully moved into his new apartment at the beginning of December and is now living in a neighborhood where he feels comfortable, stable, and at home.

Stories like this are why we do the work. Follow along for more real wins, real people, and real impact.

As we approach the final hours of the year, one thing is certain: hope remains essential.

Before 2025 slips away, you can give someone more than assistance — you can give comfort, dignity, and a chance to breathe again.

This year, with your support, PRC stood beside thousands who needed housing, access to healthcare, legal support, and the skills to find meaningful employment. Thanks to you, they had someone to believe in them when life felt too heavy to carry alone.

Hope doesn’t appear on its own. It grows because someone reaches out. Someone gives. Someone cares.

Tonight, let that someone be you. Before midnight tonight, make a fully tax-deductible donation to ensure that hope continues to grow where it’s needed most.
