TPC Homes is the housing development and property management affiliate of The People Concern, one of LA's most respected homeless services organizations. We create and operate high-quality affordable and supportive housing because housing isn't just shelter, it's the foundation for stability and dignity.

We're at an exciting inflection point. We've grown from concept to 200+ units and have a pipeline that will triple our portfolio over the next 3 years. LA is experiencing an unprecedented shift in its approach to affordable housing, and we're positioned to be a significant part of the solution.
