Family Support
At the heart of PPL’s work is helping people work toward self-sufficiency. We connect with the families through our housing and partner organizations and develop one-to-one relationships through customized and comprehensive services that help people build brighter, stable futures and stronger communities.
Support Services: A wide range of services are provided free of charge to residents in PPL housing, and individuals and families involved in other PPL programs, from community building efforts and immigrant-focused workshops, to yearlong academic youth programming, personal coaching, and intensive supportive housing.
Connections to Work: Referral-based program for families going from Welfare to Work.
Center for Working Families: Member-based financial program for families ready to plan and save.
