The Peoples Housing Council (PHC) aims to provide federally funded, decent housing to all working people.

The blame for homelessness must be placed at the door of the for-profit housing system that creates homelessness. PHC recognizes that the present economic system is constantly moving towards fewer people making higher profits at the expense of the majority.
