People Working Cooperatively is gearing up for a big move – and an even bigger future.
The local nonprofit, which helps low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners stay safe and healthy through critical home repairs, is planning to relocate its headquarters to a larger facility in Sharonville. The move is expected in the first half of 2026, once renovations are complete.
PWC will shift its operations from its longtime home on Paddock Road in Bond Hill to the former Sugar Creek Packing Co. building at 3440 E. Kemper Road.
“As we celebrate the last 50 years and look ahead to the next 50, we remain committed to providing emergency home repairs, energy conservation, accessibility modifications and other services as part of our Whole House approach, strengthening communities one home and one family at a time,” said Jock Pitts, president of PWC.
Enhancing local impact
Founded in 1975, PWC has helped residents stay safe, healthy and independent by delivering critical home repairs, energy upgrades and accessibility modifications.
Each year, PWC completes more than 7,000 services – everything from fixing plumbing and electrical issues to installing wheelchair ramps and improving insulation – for homeowners earning an average of just $14,000. Many face challenges like illness, disability or job loss that make it hard to maintain safe housing.
More than 130 licensed staff and 3,500 dedicated volunteers carry out this work, reaching nearly 9,000 people in over 4,500 homes across Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.
Pitts said the new facility will give his organization the space and resources we need to grow our impact across the region.
Board members Dave Neyer, Greg Shumate and Teresa Huxel helped guide the purchase of the new site. SHP is handling the design and Unit Building Services will begin construction later this summer.
“What we’re most excited about with this new location is the opportunity to serve more people more efficiently,” Pitts said. “Bringing everything under one roof will help us expand our mission and deepen our impact. We’re excited for what’s ahead.”
