Making Room Housing Campaign

The Care Service’s plan to add more transitional and affordable homes in our area will provide struggling families and individuals relief from the stress of housing insecurity or homelessness and transform not just their lives, but our entire community.

A safe and secure place to live is recognized as one of the most basic human needs. It is not something expected to be lacking in St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties.

There are only seven affordable units available for every 100 renters in the Tri-County area.

When Housing Becomes a Burden

25% of American renters spend over half of their income on housing alone, according to Census data.
 
When housing costs become such a great burden, there is little left for basic needs like food, transportation, healthcare, not to mention saving for emergencies.

The Fair Market Rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Missouri is $926, according to HUD.

A renter with a full-time job needs to earn $17.81 per hour to afford a one-bedroom apartment, and $21.61 if they need an additional bedroom for children.
