Housing Coalition

The primary goals of the Perry Housing Coalition (PHC) are to end homelessness and to make safe, suitable, and affordable housing available to Perry County’s residents. PHC was established in April of 2006 during a meeting regarding the on-going and often hidden issues of sub-standard housing and homelessness in Perry County. Since that time, PHC has been working with various community members, agencies, and organizations to expand its membership and its effectiveness throughout the community.

PHC currently offers direct assistance to help homeowners who have experienced a temporary financial hardship with their mortgage payments. More information about this program is available on our “AEP Grant” link. Funds for this program are provided by American Electric Power through the Perry County Department of Job and Family Services.

PHC is also funded by the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation and is part of the Rural Homelessness Initiative of Southeast and Central Ohio (RHISCO). If you are in need of assistance or if you are interested in making a difference by joining PHC, please call
