“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.
