Staff report
Central Illinois Veterans Commission
The Central Illinois Veterans Commission seeks support to match $30,000 pledged by two anonymous donors who want to help Central Illinois veterans.
Any sized gift made to the CIVC - from $5 to $5,000 or more, will be matched up to a total of $30,000. Funds raised will support the CIVC’s efforts to construct “tiny houses” in Lincoln, IL designed to provide transitional and/or permanent housing to homeless veterans.
If the matching challenge is successful, $60,000 will be available to construct the first two proposed tiny houses on the corner of 6th and College Streets in Lincoln. The CIVC tiny house initiative is modeled after the Veterans Community Project located in St. Louis [https://tinyurl.com/yydnfsz2], which features a mix of single-occupancy, 240-square foot and 320-square foot, fully furnished homes.
