Founded in December of 2018, it is the vision of the Central
Illinois Veterans Commission to provide veterans with holistic
services designed to eliminate barriers in obtaining permanent
housing. CIVC partners with the VA, civic organizations, human
service agencies and community colleges to ensure each veteran has
access to services including mental health counseling, workplace and
financial skills training, life coaching and housing assistance
programs.
Since its inception, the organization has built and given three tiny
homes to deserving veterans in Lincoln. Two additional homes are
currently being completed on Decatur Street in Lincoln. Two
additional veterans will soon be welcomed home thanks to the efforts
of this organization and many volunteers and supporters. CIVC is
extremely grateful for the support of the community and looks
forward to a great event on September 15, 2023.
