ABOUT US:


  • APC's mission is to end homelessness by providing housing and services to create communities where individuals and families who have experienced homelessness can build toward selfsufficiency. At APC, we believe we better meet our mission by recruiting, training, and retaining a diverse and representative workforce at all job levels of our community. Over 50% of APC's employees have lived experience with homelessness. This experience and our employees' many other skills and talents strengthen our work. APC strives to recruit a racially and ethnically diverse workforce. We aim to provide a workplace for everyone where everyone's voice is heard.
