Welcome...

Bucks County Housing Group is a private, non-profit social service organization that provides a wide range of housing and related social services to homeless and low-income families. Our primary goal is to assist families attain permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

Bucks County is an affluent county, but homelessness, poverty and hunger are very real issues for many of our neighbors. Housing Group opened the first emergency shelter for homeless families (typically moms with children) in Bucks County in 1980. Since that time we have expanded services to support clients through the challenges they face as they work to transform their lives.

Since our beginning, we have received major financial and program support from the Bucks County Board of Commissioners. The County Commissioners' continuous support of Housing Group programs has been instrumental to our success.

Just as important has been the strong community support we receive. Friends from all over Bucks County have contributed and continue to contribute, time, talent and money which makes a difference in the lives of the families we serve.

Our strength lies in our innovative approach to "social work". Working cooperatively with area agencies, Housing Group offers a comprehensive Housing Continuum. The Housing Continuum is a series of related programs that allow families the opportunity and time to move from homelessness to permanent self-reliance and therefore, permanent housing. We also own and operate 80 rental units scattered throughout Bucks County which are designated low-income housing.

Housing Group is absolutely committed to our clients and the understanding that, given appropriate tools and opportunities, each client family is more than capable of making effective decisions that will bring about the changes that will move their lives forward.

We welcome and encourage community members to participate in this process.

When it is all numbers and percentages, homelessness appears to be an intellectual concern, but these issues are as real as the next breath for the client families we serve. Bucks County Housing Group believes in the potential of every client family: it is a matter of simple human dignity to have an acceptable place to call home, food to eat and hope for the future.
