Providing safe, affordable, and well-maintained neighborhood homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities

🚐💙 Meet our newly wrapped utility van!

Most days, our maintenance team rolls up in pick-up trucks loaded with tools, flooring, yard waste, or ladders. But when it’s time to transport something that needs to be enclosed—like an appliance or cabinet—a utility van is key.

Earlier this year, we got a newer van with more interior room, and now it’s fully wrapped in our PCH branding thanks to @logodaddygraphics!

Keeping our homes functional and safe—with a little help from the right vehicles—is part of the mission.

💙 Meet Lisa, our Director of Operations at PCH! She just celebrated 4 years with us and brings 20+ years of experience in nonprofit and for-profit operations and training. When she saw the opportunity at PCH, it was a perfect fit.

“I was drawn to the mission and confident my work experience would be a great fit—and that I could make a positive impact,” she shared.

And she certainly has. Lisa oversees every project, repair job, and emergency order across more than 80 houses in three counties and St. Louis City. She also conducts annual inspections on nearly half of our homes and leads the Operations Department, which includes our Operations Manager and five Maintenance Technicians.

“I love the job!” Lisa said. “I deeply appreciate the effort my team puts in every day—and I genuinely enjoy working alongside them. It’s gratifying to know we help our residents live in a home they are comfortable with and can be proud of every day.”

Lisa is especially proud of the thousands of home projects completed during her time here, thanks to our generous donors, fund development team, and Board of Directors.

“Perhaps my most poignant memory was the Board’s approval to refinance five houses a few years ago. It gave us the funding to make critical improvements in over 40 homes. The happiness and positive changes for our residents were immediate and powerful.”

We’re so grateful to have Lisa’s leadership, heart, and dedication at the core of our work. 💙

If you see her around, be sure to say hi—or leave a note of thanks in the comments below!

☀️ Summer is looking especially good this year at Promise Community Homes (PCH) 💛💙

Last year, thanks to a generous grant from @loweshomeimprovement and their #LowesHometowns program, we were able to create safer and more beautiful spaces across our campus: new sidewalks, light posts, and landscaping now connect homes to the community center with ease.

Testimonials

My sister lived with our parents until our mom was unable to care for her anymore due to illness. At that time, the only place for my sister to live was in a habilitation center. I was referred to a support agency, and together we approached PCH (then called Rainbow Village) to find a community home for my sister and some roommates. Rainbow Village was able to find a great home in a safe community for the residents and her whole attitude has changed. I noticed that she smiles more and is able to do things we take for granted (i.e. can go to the kitchen and get food when she wants to). The home is great and beautifully maintained. The neighbors even comment that it is one of the best looking homes in the neighborhood. I am very pleased that my sister is provided a safe, comfortable and affordable home in the community for the rest of her life.

Sister of a PCH Resident

Promise Community Homes serves two constituent groups equally – both the disabled and their families. The homes provide the ability to live and belong in community, and thereby enrich the lives of its residents. In turn, providing a safe and happy place to live gives their loved ones peace of mind and freedom of their own. As someone with a developmentally disabled family member, I understand the substantial benefits. By supporting this organization, I’m helping to create and maintain the home and community environment that means so much to so many.
