“We were hesitant, wary of being let down again. But then we met MJ and Ny’Taizjah. Their kindness and optimism were like a lifeline in a sea of hopelessness. They gave us more than help, they gave us back our dignity.”
Our team connected them with resources to secure housing and get back on their feet—but the true victory belongs to them. They worked tirelessly, finding steady, full-time jobs with benefits and rebuilding their lives from the ground up. “They gave us something I never thought I’d feel again: HOPE. Hope that life will get better. Hope that we could overcome. Hope that the world wasn’t as dark and cold as it had seemed. “Today, my hope has grown into something even bigger: to one day do for someone else what Mid Michigan Community Action did for us. They gave us a second chance, and I will never stop being grateful for that. ” If you are facing housing challenges, don't wait to reach out for support: call or text 1-877-213-5955 or email [email protected]. Services are available for individuals, families, youth, and veterans across Arenac, Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Mecosta, and Osceola Counties as well as veterans who are unhoused or at risk of homelessness in Lake, Newaygo, Midland, and Saginaw Counties. Every story is unique, and each one reflects the courage and determination of the individuals we serve. Today, we’re sharing the journey of one client whose strength inspires us all!
Finding Safety and Stability: Determined to rebuild their life after being unhoused, they found employment and, with support from our team, worked tirelessly to secure housing. Recently, they signed a lease and are thrilled to be moving into a safe, stable home of their own! How We Helped: "The staff at Mid Michigan Community Action are willing to listen and give you positive feedback, as well as places that are accepting applications. I wasn’t looked down on or turned away because of my situation. Community Action staff greeted me with a warm smile and a sense of comfort." This client did an incredible job finding hope and growth from an extremely difficult situation—their spirit is truly an inspiration! Every step matters on the journey to housing and self-sufficiency. Together, we can build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has a place to call home.

Today, Victoria is thriving! She is just two semesters away from completing dual degrees in Mechatronics and Skilled Trades Electrical Programs at Delta College. Her hard work and dedication have earned her recognition on the Dean’s List, Vice President’s List, and now the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA! On top of her academic success, she works 45 hours a week, has completed her first internship, and is a candidate for a long-term co-op position.
Victoria’s achievements go beyond education and work. She has improved her credit, purchased a car, and discovered a passion for helping others through volunteer work. Looking ahead, she is on track to purchase her first home through the MSHDA Key to Own program in part from escrowing funds as part of the self-sufficiency program. "I am excited to see what else I can achieve before I graduate the FSS program and continue in the Key to Own program. Thank you for showing me this was all possible!" —Victoria Victoria’s story is a testament to the power of determination and support. We are so proud of her and grateful to be a part of her journey!
