Promise Community Homes

Promise Community Homes is honored to serve the specialty housing needs of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. But keeping over 80 houses affordable, accessible and, well-maintained is a lot of work! That’s why we rely on support from generous donors who have helped sustain our mission for nearly 60 years.

You can help turn houses into forever homes by becoming a monthly donor! Monthly donors help support continuous maintenance and accessibility projects that allow nearly 300 residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live and thrive with independence, dignity, and belonging in the places they call home for the rest of their lives.

Learn more at pchstl.org/monthlygiving and give today and whatever level works best for you.

Today and tomorrow, PCH’s incredible Maintenance Team is working on a Heat Advisory Schedule, starting earlier in the day so that all outdoor work orders can be completed before noon so they can tackle indoor projects during the sun’s hottest hours. We’ve made sure they stay properly hydrated using funds from ongoing recycling of out-of-date or inoperable appliances and other discarded recyclables to keep their drink supply well-stocked. ☀🧊

We are so incredible grateful for our Maintenance Team’s dedication to providing safe and stable homes for our residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities, even during the most extreme weather conditions.

This week, Promise Community Homes had the honor of hosting the Creve Coeur Fire Protection District, Mercy Hospital St. Louis, and SwimOn at our indoor pool for a pediatric drowning simulation with a medical training mannequin.

As we enter summer months and the risk of drownings unfortunately increases, emergency responders and clinicians must be prepared to handle these types of situations. The heated, indoor pool at the PCH community center provided a realistic environment where participants in the training were able to practice real-world applications in a drowning scenario.

Promise Community Homes is proud to be able to provide the setting for this imperative training simulation. Fox2Now captured the whole thing and shared tips on how to prevent drownings this summer https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/first-responders-to-train-for-potential-child-drownings/.

One of the ways Promise Community Homes supports the stability and independence of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is by making sure every house is fully equipped for residents to age in place.

This includes installing stable, durable, and long-lasting ramps so that those who rely on wheelchairs and walkers can safely and comfortably come and go from their own houses as they please and age with dignity in the neighborhoods and communities they call home.

Take a look at some Before & Afters from a few projects last year that replaced temporary ramps with safer and sturdier ramps, supporting affordable and accessible forever homes for residents who use mobility aids!

Our Executive Director goes above and beyond!

Due to the rain from the past few weeks and a clogged drain, the roof of the PCH Community Center unfortunately collected some standing water. So our fearless leader, Executive Director Matt Elmore, went up to the roof himself to unclog the drain and let the water pass through.

Thanks for going the extra mile to take care of our building, Matt!

In observance of Memorial Day, the PCH office is closed today, Monday, May 25.
