MCPHERSON HOUSING COALITION INC

McPherson Housing Coalition (MHC) provides safe, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions for individuals and families in McPherson County. Guided by our mission—*"From homelessness to homeownership and everything in between"—*we work to bridge the housing gap, ensuring everyone has access to stable and suitable housing regardless of their financial situation.

At MHC, we recognize that housing is not just about shelter; it is about creating a foundation for individuals and families to thrive. Our programs address the full spectrum of housing needs, from emergency shelter for those experiencing homelessness to rental assistance, transitional housing, and homeownership support. By taking a comprehensive approach, we empower residents to move beyond temporary solutions and toward long-term stability.

Our Programs and Services
Emergency & Transitional Housing
We provide immediate assistance for individuals and families facing homelessness. Our emergency housing programs offer a safe place to stay while our team works to connect clients with resources and pathways to stable, long-term housing.

Rental Assistance & Affordable Housing
MHC works to ensure that low-income families and individuals have access to affordable rental properties. We collaborate with landlords, property managers, and community partners to help clients secure stable housing while providing financial literacy education and tenant support.

Supportive Services & Case Management
Recognizing that housing stability is about more than just a roof over one’s head, MHC offers personalized case management. Our team assists clients with job readiness, financial planning, mental health referrals, and access to community resources that promote long-term success.

Homeownership Assistance
For those ready to take the next step, we provide education and support for first-time homebuyers. Our programs include financial literacy training, down payment assistance, and guidance on securing affordable mortgages. We believe that homeownership is a powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and fostering generational wealth.
Brush Up Mac is a community-driven program designed to help seniors remain in their homes safely and comfortably by providing small home repairs and yard work. This initiative ensures that aging residents can maintain their independence while living in a secure and well-maintained environment.

Through Brush Up Mac, volunteers and local organizations come together to assist seniors with essential tasks such as minor home repairs, painting, cleaning gutters, and yard maintenance. These improvements help prevent safety hazards, enhance curb appeal, and create a healthier living space for elderly homeowners who may struggle with upkeep due to physical or financial limitations.

By fostering a spirit of service and neighborly support, Brush Up Mac strengthens community connections while enabling seniors to age in place with dignity.

Community Collaboration & Advocacy
MHC actively partners with local businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to develop policies and programs that address the housing crisis in McPherson County. We advocate for increased funding, zoning reforms, and community-driven solutions to expand housing opportunities for all residents.

Impact and Vision
Our work has already transformed the lives of countless individuals and families, providing them with the stability and security they need to build brighter futures. Through innovative solutions, compassionate support, and strong community engagement, MHC is making a lasting difference in the fight against housing insecurity.

Our vision is a community where no one has to experience homelessness, where families can access affordable housing, and where homeownership is an achievable goal for all. By continuing to expand our programs and strengthen our partnerships, we aim to make that vision a reality.

At McPherson Housing Coalition, we believe that housing is a fundamental right, not a privilege. With dedication, collaboration, and community support, we are committed to ensuring that every individual in McPherson County has a place to call home—no matter where they are on their housing journey.
