Affordable Housing Coalition - Our goal is to provide a united voice for development of more affordable housing and promote the various projects of the coalition members. We want to raise awareness about the current housing crisis and give community members opportunities to respond individually and by forming partnerships. Meetings include reports from various partners who are developing housing stock and educational presentations about the current state of affordable housing, local housing history, and current efforts.
The coalition meets monthly on the third Wednesday at 3:00 PM at the Love Columbia Center. To receive meeting notices, contact: communityservices@boonecountymo.org.
RentWell - Become an informed and preferred renter! RentWell is a 5-part class that will make you a renter that landlords prefer. Topics include: What do landlords want? Can I afford it? Where can I find a rental? Where can I get legal help if needed? As well as information on maintenance, safety, communication, who’s responsible and more. Join us every Thursday.
Good Dads: Class is set to begin December 30 and will meet Tuesday evenings with a meal at 5:30 and class at 6:00. Good Dads provides education and support for fathers seeking to deepen their connection with their children. To register call Ava Summers at 417-501-8867 ext. 300 or email ava@gooddads.com
HUD First Time Homebuyer Workshop: Comprehensive course that covers topics such as the home buying process, financing options, credit management, and post-purchase concerns. The course is designed to equip first-time homebuyers with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions throughout the home buying process. The in-person class is offered 6 times a year. One-on-one coaching sessions are also available.
Volunteer Career Coach Training: Come learn how you can play a vital role in helping community members set and reach their career goals. We’ll begin with a brief overview of Love Columbia’s programs and then move into a staff-led training on the basics of career coaching. You’ll leave with practical ideas on how to walk alongside clients as they take next steps in their career journey.
We’ll also provide time for you to share your availability and preferred coaching format (in-person, phone, or community location).
You’re welcome to attend simply to learn more—there’s no obligation to volunteer afterward!
