Regional Housing & Supportive Services is pleased to announce the generous donation of $500 from members of the Lincoln Rotary, a committed supporter of community initiatives. This donation will significantly advance security at Hope on 5th, enhancing our ability to house more people.

“We are incredibly grateful to Lincoln Rotary for their support,” said Kim Turner, Chairperson of RHSS board. “Their contribution will directly benefit security on the residential wing, allowing us to open more rooms sooner. This support is crucial in helping us achieve our mission to provide shelter and services to central Illinois veterans, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness through offering supportive services and housing on an emergency, temporary, transitional, and permanent basis.”

Lincoln Rotary has been a valued partner in efforts around the community, and this donation is a testament to Rotary’s ongoing commitment to serving others. The assistance from Lincoln Rotary Club helps ensure that RHSS can continue to deliver meaningful services.

Regional Housing & Supportive Service organization has been working tirelessly to renovate the building located at 200 5th St. in Lincoln. This donation will enable RHSS to offer housing to more people sooner.
