About Us

Princeton Community Housing (PCH) provides and manages 466 affordable and well-maintained rental homes for individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities with very low-, low-, and moderate- incomes. More than 1,000 residents - about 3% of the Princeton population - reside in PCH homes at communities such as Princeton Community Village, Elm Court, Harriet Bryan House, and Griggs Farm, as well as other PCH-owned and managed properties all in Princeton. Social service coordinators and other onsite staff assist PCH residents with access to a wide array of social services available through partner organizations that strengthen health, lives, and futures and help address issues of inequity and income gap; this is the “PCH difference.”

Volunteer Information

Typical Volunteer Opportunities:To help achieve these initiatives, Princeton Community Housing is always looking for volunteers who may be interested in becoming candidates for service on our boards of trustees and committees. The boards meet virtually every other month, with joint in-person meetings two times/year; one board focuses on strategic initiatives and fundraising while the other supports resident quality of life and community operations. Committees generally meet quarterly to discuss advocacy, fundraising, finance, governance, property management, and real estate. We are looking for people who represent the diversity of the population of the Princeton community and PCH’s communities.
