💙 Today, we’re spotlighting Caitlin Harmon, one of our Housing Specialists.

Housing Specialists work with individuals and families experiencing housing instability. They help customers look at safe housing options, connect with shelter or temporary housing when available, explore possible help with rent, deposits, or utilities 
through available programs, and build a plan for more stable housing over time.

We asked Caitlin what she likes about working here, and this is what she had to say: “No two days are the same, and there is flexibility in providing solutions to the issues that are happening in our communities.”

Thank you, Caitlin, for the care, creativity, and steady support you bring to your work each day!

Community Action works because of the people who show up every day with care, purpose, and heart.

Today, we’re spotlighting Terri, our Early Intervention Coordinator for Head Start Preschool. Terri has been with Mid Michigan Community Action for four years and plays an important 
role in helping children, families, and classroom staff get the support they need. She can often be found visiting classrooms, connecting with staff, and helping make sure children have what they need to learn, grow, and take part in classroom life.

When we asked what motivates her to do her best work each day, Terri said it’s the reminder that she can make a difference, “even if it is small and hard to immediately see.”

Terri loves working with children with developmental, behavioral, or learning needs, their families, and the staff who work hard to support them. She brings both professional experience and personal understanding to her role, and she hopes her work helps remind families that they are not alone.

Thank you, Terri, for the care, understanding, and steady support you bring to children, families, and staff. You’re helping make Community Action real every day.
