Much of the world has recently changed - but one thing hasn’t: people’s homes still need repairs. Despite challenges, PPL's Maintenance team continues to come in every day with enthusiasm and commitment to PPL residents.

"Volunteering can have a huge impact on one’s emotional well-being as well as provide experiences that can help you succeed in your personal and professional lives."

Our vision is to deepen and expand our housing + jobs work, to sharpen our focus on equity and engagement as ways of doing business, to commit to the importance of place, and to expand our impact on systems and policy.
