Mid Central Community Action, Inc

 

Mid Central Community Action, Inc's overall goal is to help individuals and families reach self sufficiency. In order to accomplish this outcome we form partnerships with a variety of local governmental bodies, private businesses, educational institutions and other human services. We work cooperatively to create and provide both safety nets and life improvement opportunities for people and families living in poverty in McLean and Livingston County.

At the same time, Mid Central Community Action, Inc. establishes partnerships with individuals and families to take control of, and responsibility for, their own life direction. We believe this results in a combination of self-directed action and participation in community improvement activities.

We need your help!

Hopefully, you are visiting our website because you want to know more about our programs, or because you support the work that we do in our communities.

Today, our ability to continue that good work stands in jeopardy, as projected cuts in State grants meant that some contracts could be severely reduced in size, and some could even be totally eliminated.

In lay terms, it means that our services for the homeless and in the field of homeless prevention may be cut. It means that services for the victims of domestic violence will be severely diminished - maybe to the point of having to close Neville House. It means that our formerly homeless residents at Mayors Manor could no longer receive supportive services.

While nothing is certain yet, some agencies have received letters explaining the changes to, or elimination of their contracts.

We urge you to contact your local legislators to let them know that it is not acceptable to cut the lifeline of the most vulnerable populations. These cuts, outside of MCCA, also affect early childhood education, childcare, people with disabilities, teen moms, troubled youth, rape victims, the elderly, and many, many more ... all of the most vulnerable members of our community.

If you are able to convey any effects these cuts will have on you, personally, please do so!
