About us

The Homeless Prevention Council (HPC) was organized as a 501c3 non-profit agency in May, 1991, by the Lower/Outer Cape Community Coalition. Originally named the “Interfaith Council for the Homeless,” the agency was created to address a pressing need for case management services in the towns of the Lower and Outer Cape. HPC works directly in our community with our neighbors in need. We are confronting the housing crisis by providing supports and resources to ensure that everyone in our community can thrive.
