We’re thrilled to announce that we will be closing on a property at the end of the month!!!

It’s a small single family house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.

She needs TLC inside, so we will be posting about renovations and timelines once we take possession.

Looking forward to providing affordable housing for folks!

Exciting news is in the works! Stay tuned!

Did you know, the Mid Central Community Action Housing Stability Navigator responds to the housing and assistance needs of local precariously housed and homeless residents in McLean County?

To provide assistance, our Housing Stability Navigator will host our first intake day of the year on next Friday, January 17th.

If you are or know someone else that is homeless or precariously housed, living with friends, family, or perhaps living in a hotel, shelter, vehicle, or on the streets, attend our Housing Stability Navigator Intake Day.

*NOTE: This date is for individuals looking for assistance with first month's rent on a new housing location. The Housing Navigator cannot help with mortgage or rental arrears during these appointments, and the client must come in person to schedule their appointment.

*Limited spaces are available
