Becoming a Resident

Become a PCH Resident

To live in a Promise Community Homes (PCH) house, a person must first meet the following requirements:

  1. Be an adult, at least 18 years of age.
  2. Have an official diagnosis of an intellectual and/or developmental disability(ies) (IDD).
  3. Receive services from a care provider partner.
  4. Have a Comprehensive Waiver from the Missouri Department of Mental Health or require significant assistance with daily life.
  5. Be approved eligible by PCH prior to living in the home.

Your care provider will work with you to find the best fit for you or your loved one regarding location and housemates. Residents may have up to three housemates depending on the number of bedrooms in the home.

Promise of Home - For Life

As much as possible, and as long as the resident chooses to remain in the home, a PCH resident will age in place, with home modifications and upkeep managed by PCH.

We are proud to provide the vital need of housing to adults with IDD for life.

Family Navigation for Services

Family Navigation, a joint effort between PCH care partners Sunnyhill, St. Louis Arc, Easterseals Midwest, and UCP Heartland, provides short-term support and guidance to individuals and their families. Assigned navigators at each organization can help guide you to resources you and/or your loved one need.
