About This Cause
Our mission: People Working Cooperatively performs critical home repairs and services so that low-income homeowners can remain in their homes living independently and healthier in a safe, sound environment. Incorporated In 1975 People Working Cooperatively is a unique, non-profit organization serving low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners. PWC strengthens communities by providing professional, critical home repairs, weatherization, modification, and maintenance services to help residents stay safely in their homes. The story began with two men, a telephone, and a desk. From a garage in Covington, Kentucky, two employees and a small volunteer administration team set out to provide low-income households with minor home repair and weatherization services. During the year following its inception, PWC helped 43 low-income homeowners. PWC proudly provides more than 7,400 services to clients each year, who typically have an annual income of about $14,000 a year. Many of our clients face physical and economic challenges due to illness, disability, job loss or simply getting older and having to live on a fixed income. While they were once able to purchase their own home, today, critical and urgent home maintenance, repairs, or accessibility modifications are beyond their reach. PWC's services are provided at no cost to our clients by our staff of more than 80 licensed, professionally trained trades people. Their work is augmented by a dedicated corps of 3500-plus volunteers, one of the largest volunteer corps in the region. Community members are invited to join PWC’s cause by participating in a number of volunteer opportunities throughout the year. This growing list of events includes Repair Affair, held each May to complete home repairs and modifications not otherwise funded by agency dollars, and Prepare Affair, held each November to help clients prepare for the approaching winter.
