1965 – PSW Gains a Permanent Home

Milestone: City grants long-term lease for new property
Date: 1965

When the City of Porterville granted PSW a long-term lease, it affirmed that PSW was an organization rooted in integrity and committed to lasting impact. With a stable home, PSW expanded its reach and provided a true sense of belonging to individuals who had historically been on the margins. The move marked a key moment of collaboration between city leaders, families, and the PSW team—united by a shared vision of a more inclusive and compassionate future for all.
