Who
is People Working Cooperatively? People
Working Cooperatively (PWC) is a 33 year-old
non-profit organization that provides critical
home repairs, energy conservation, modification,
maintenance, and education services for
very low-income homeowners throughout 13
counties in southwest Ohio, northern Kentucky
and Indiana. PWC focuses on basic living
essentials – heat, running water,
working toilets, solid roofing and other
repairs that keep a home safe and habitable.
We also provide home modifications for the
elderly and for persons with disabilities
so that their homes are accessible, safe
for the residents, and provide them with
the ability to live independently.
Over
the past several years, Humana has been
a partner in PWC’s various volunteer
efforts in the Greater Cincinnati area.
They recently invited PWC to bring its program
to Humana’s home city - Louisville,
Kentucky. As the Title Sponsor for this
event, they recognize the void in the local
community for these services.
