The Pico Union Housing Corporation (PUHC) is a community based organization with a mission to develop and preserve affordable housing with an emphasis on resident ownership, establishing effective community organizations and facilities, and the creation of economic development activities that will benefit their low income constituents.

PUHC has been a recognized development organization for over 35 years. PUHC presently owns and operates 885 units of affordable housing and targets 100% of its housing programs to serve low and very low income families.

The goals of PUHC are to reduce the dependence in welfare, reduce the unemployment index, decrease school drop out rates, and assist its constituents in creating wealth. PUHC hopes to meet these ambitious goals by assisting youths to enter the workforce in jobs that are in high demand and pay a living wage.
