PCRI

Welcome to Urban October.
Never heard of it? You're not alone.

Urban October was created by the United Nations as a way for everyone around the world to engage in conversation about the fast rate of change in our communities—specifically in urban spaces.

The month begins with World Habitat Day on October 6. This day is set aside to recognize every person’s basic right to sustainable shelter as well as address and eradicate the causes of poverty housing.

During the month, the UN presents the Scroll of Honour to five individuals from around the world. This prestigious award recognizes initiatives that have made outstanding contributions to improving the challenges faced by people living in urban settings. This year, 4 of the 5 recipients presented solutions centered on sustainable housing.

Housing is a clear, and present, danger in our society. PRCI is working every day to address the core issues that prevent families and individuals from building generational wealth.

PCRI will be celebrating Urban October with the grand opening of Kafoury Court. This gorgeous 40-unit Permanent Supportive Housing development will provide affordable housing to qualified community members that have struggled with homelessness. A fitting shoutout to a month focused on addressing and eradicating poverty housing!
