💙 𝐏𝐂𝐇 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 in Jefferson City! 💙

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐄𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞, Executive Director of 𝐏𝐂𝐇, traveled from St. Louis to Missouri’s capital to join Starling Missouri for their annual Advocacy Day, alongside a quarterly membership meeting focused on strengthening services across the state.

It’s powerful to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow providers and partners, connecting directly with Missouri lawmakers to advocate for Missourians with disabilities—sharing updates, budget needs, challenges, and real-world successes from the communities we serve.

Starling Missouri is a nonprofit network of 100+ organizations working together to ensure every Missourian with an intellectual or developmental disability (𝐈𝐃𝐃) has access to the supports they need to live their best life in the community of their choice.

Huge shoutout to 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭 and 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 for their continued leadership and advocacy for our residents and their 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬. 💛

💙🧩🎮 This time of year is perfect for enjoying a cozy, fun, relaxing space, whether you call it a den, hobby hole, media room, or something entirely your own.

That’s exactly what our residents have done here, turning their basement into a place to unwind, play, create music, and truly feel at home.

𝐏𝐂𝐇 loves seeing how residents choose to shape each house into their 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞—making decisions, expressing their personalities, and enjoying the independence that comes with having a place that’s truly theirs. 🏠💙💛

💙 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦! 💙

Say hello to 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐦, our Development Manager at 𝐏𝐂𝐇!

Elizabeth joined PCH at the very beginning of last year, bringing with her years of nonprofit experience in marketing, administration, and development. Our mission resonated with her both professionally and on a deeper level.

✨ “I've seen firsthand the challenges surrounding inclusive and accessible housing for people with IDD,” Elizabeth shared. “I want to help the people I personally know on this journey as well as support others experiencing the same thing.”

Last summer, Elizabeth adored PCH’s first “Dog Days of Summer,” getting to meet everyone’s pups and bringing her own dog, Poppy, to the office for a day. Like other staffers on PCH’s small but mighty team, Elizabeth appreciates this fun, supportive, and inclusive culture that is still so industrious behind the scenes—working hard on everything from smaller administrative tasks to large-scale projects.

✨ “Any homeowner knows that owning a house is no small feat, and we have over 80 that need to be safe, affordable, and accessible for hundreds of residents!” Elizabeth emphasized. “But the team performs with so much camaraderie, compassion, humor, and diligence, so all the hard work doesn’t feel like work.”

We’re so grateful for Elizabeth’s experiences, kindness, and commitment to PCH, our team, and our mission. 💙

Give Elizabeth a shout-out when you see her or drop a note of thanks in the comments! ⬇️

💙 𝐏𝐂𝐇 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 around St. Louis! 💙

Earlier this month, 𝐏𝐂𝐇 was out in St. Louis County to connect with community members and neighbors near the probably location of a future multi-unit apartment building.

With significant support from the Productive Living Board (PLB), guidance from Gershman Commercial Real Estate, and architectural & design services from Trivers, this initiative will create more 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). 🙌🏠

Thank you to everyone who participated and to our amazing partners at the PLB, Gershman, and Trivers for supporting our mission! 💛

A little preparation now can help prevent frozen pipes, water damage, and safety issues later—especially for the homes we’re proud to care for in our community.

Stay warm and stay safe!
