Housing
Assistance
There is a severe shortage of affordable housing in St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren Counties, with just seven affordable units available for every 100 renters in need. Facing a housing crisis is overwhelming. The Care Service helps ease the stress of individuals and families facing utility disconnection, eviction, loss of housing, or who are currently experiencing homelessness.
Our Housing Assistance Program provides immediate relief by assisting with utility, rent, or mortgage payments to help people stay in their homes. Rental deposits help secure new housing for those lacking a safe, secure place to call home. Most importantly, a Care Service staff member will work alongside the household members to provide the assistance, support, and resources they need to reach a place of stability and self-sufficiency.
For nearly 20 years, The Care Service has been operating affordable and transitional housing units, applying best practices that lead to successful placements, ongoing support, and long-term stability. We are committed to bringing more affordable and transitional housing to our community through our Making Room Housing Campaign. These homes provide much-needed relief to struggling families and individuals, easing the burden of housing instability and transforming not just their lives, but our entire community.
