Will County Habitat for Humanity
Will County Habitat for Humanity (WCHFH) improves the quality of life for low income and/ or at-risk residents by providing affordable housing. At a time when the connection between health and housing has never been clearer, we are requesting a $15,000 grant to support our Veteran’s Build. We have partnered with local veteran agencies to identify veterans in need. We are breaking ground on 1919 Cora St., in honor of Veteran Ray Holloway. This home, built for a veteran and their family, is a long-term solution to their housing needs. If children don’t live in decent homes, their odds of staying healthy plummet. In turn, they miss school and don’t receive an education and struggle with employment - unable to break the cycle of poverty.

The Neighborhood Network Alliance
The Neighborhood Network Alliance is a community engagement group that provides resources to block club leaders. Through our deep engagement with residents and other stakeholders we have learned that by empowering social networks of intergenerational, like-minded neighbors we can inspire all to get involved with the process of stabilizing South Shore. To get through the next stage and be well positioned for growth we intend to use these grant funds to help us both improve our operating infrastructure and how we engage one of our Area Councils. Our capacity building will focus on completing an organizational assessment, strategic plan, standardizing our programs and formalizing policies and processes.
