About Us

Dedicated to becoming the agency of choice to help people find their path to growth and independence.

 

We assist the people of our community by providing high-quality services that promote:

  • Dignity
  • Empowerment
  • Independence
  • Safety
  • Self-esteem
  • Self-sufficiency

 

People's Place will identify the social/mental health needs of Delaware residents and facilitate the provision of services to address those needs.

A grass roots effort by Delaware residents concerned about the lack of activities and programs for the youth of Milford.

People’s Place has grown into the largest multi-service 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping people find their path to growth and independence. We accomplish this goal by providing a variety of programs and services to the families, adults, and children of lower Delaware that are focused on counseling, education, prevention, intervention, supportive services, and advocacy.

Today, People’s Place, through a collaborative effort, serves more than 9,000 residents per year in Kent, Sussex, and lower New Castle Counties.
