CIVC’s mission is to provide Central Illinois veterans with the tools and support systems
to enable them to move forward to obtain a permanent home.

CIVC’s vision is to provide honorable and general discharged veterans with holistic services designed to eliminate barriers in obtaining permanent sustainable housing. The CIVC will partner with the VA, civic organizations, human service agencies, the Board of Health and community colleges to ensure each veteran has access to services.
