The Promise
Our Homes
As the largest specialty housing nonprofit in St. Louis, you would not immediately recognize a Promise home. Our homes look like any other on a peaceful residential street. That is the beauty of our housing model. We provide community integrated neighborhood homes. Today we own and manage 86 neighborhood homes throughout St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County.
Our Residents
Your Neighbors
We are proud to offer our specialized homes in St. Louis’ most popular and welcoming neighborhoods. Typically, we purchase three- to five-bedroom ranch-styles houses that are modified to meet the unique accessibility needs of the residents.
And for the lifetime of the residents (and of the home), we provide high-quality and timely maintenance. Our Maintenance teams respond to ongoing calls, typically within 24 hours and techs are always on call for emergencies. We provide annual safety inspections, heating and cooling system checks, and hot-water/HVAC safety checks. We pride ourselves on personal relationships with residents and support providers to assure that all housing needs are addressed.
We are grateful for the nearly 200 volunteers who provide landscaping/lawn care on select homes on a seasonal basis. Some volunteers also complete special projects at select homes, going above and beyond to make the houses a special place to call home.

We need you
Volunteer
We are grateful for our volunteers who help with lawn care and complete special projects to support their neighbors – our residents! Volunteering for PCH offers a fun day, out of the office or classroom, and a great team-building experience for your group.
