APC’s mission is working to end homelessness and its symptoms by providing permanent housing and supportive services to create communities where formerly homeless families and individuals can flourish. To be housed at APC, residents must be experiencing chronic homelessness at time of entry and, at least one head of household must have a permanent disability (mental and/or physical). APC currently uses the decommissioned naval base to house a total of 500 residents. To help break the cycles and symptoms of homelessness for these residents, APC uses supportive services with its permanent housing. These services range from literacy programming, substance abuse counseling, therapy, case management, children and youth programming, adult programming, and employment and education training.
The APC Farm2Market is a social enterprise of APC and the agency’s largest site for its On-The-Job training program for residents. With only two full time staff, APC's Farm2Market seeks help with harvesting, weeding, watering, building, and other tasks to keep our farm running!
Second Saturday's are special, as the farm hosts community members for volunteering and a potluck lunch. We'll have veggies from the farm and bring a dish from home! Feel free to bring a snack or a dish to share with volunteers. Lunch is around 12:45!
