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.

Pre-Homeownership Class: Learn how to work toward becoming financially ready to pursue homeownership. The class will provide credit building skills and advice from real estate lenders on how to prepare for homeownership. One on one counseling will be provided if needed in addition to the class.
