The PCH Difference

Care & Connect aka The PCH Difference™

The PCH Difference™ is Princeton Community Housing’s commitment to supporting our residents beyond the walls of their homes. Through community-based partnerships, facilitated by PCH’s Social Services Team, we connect residents with resources, services, and opportunities that promote stronger, healthier outcomes for individuals and our communities.

Our Social Services Team plays a critical role in connecting residents with local community resources for both crisis intervention and preventive services that support emotional well-being. The team also plans and coordinates enrichment opportunities and community-building events, while helping our senior residents successfully age in place.

PCH Supportive Services include:

Congregate Program

At Elm Court/Harriet Bryan House, the Congregate Program provides meals, limited personal care, light housekeeping, and essential transportation services for senior citizens and mobility-impaired residents.
Food Security and Hunger Relief

PCH partners with Arm and Arm and Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Mercer County who generously provide food deliveries at all PCH communities. Additionally, residents benefit from Princeton Human Services’ Annual Holiday and Thanksgiving Day basket distributions.
Access to Scholarships for Higher Education

PCH’s Princeton Community Village and Griggs Farm communities are members of JAHMA (New Jersey Affordable Housing Management Association) and NAHMA (National Affordable Housing Management Association), qualifying our student residents to apply for scholarships through their national and state foundations.
Emergency Rental Relief and Payment Plans

PCH makes every effort to keep residents in their homes, and when necessary, provides payment plans as a way forward for residents who are falling behind with their rent obligation. PCH also collaborates with Housing Initiatives of Princeton and other community-based organizations who provide direct aid to individuals facing significant financial challenges, often because of unanticipated circumstances and crisis.
Health and Wellness Opportunities

PCH appreciates our collaborations with Zufall Health, Penn Medicine Princeton and the Princeton YMCA to offer a range of health and wellness programs, including free and low-cost health services, educational programs, vaccine clinics, and on-site exercise programs.
Education and Enrichments

At Princeton Community Village, the Crimmins Learning Center offers learning opportunities for youngsters. In 2026, PCH partnered with Princeton Nursery School to offer a summer camp.
Summer enrichment opportunities are extended to youth who live in PCH communities, including funding to participate in Princeton Recreation Department summer programs and other local camps and activities.
