Housing Resources, Inc.

Established in 1982 as a 501 c (3) non-profit organization, HRI provides housing solutions for individuals and families during a housing crisis. Our mission is the assurance of housing for socially or economically vulnerable persons in Kalamazoo County. Our services are designed to stabilize households experiencing homelessness and help those in jeopardy of losing their housing.

During the last year, Housing Resources, Inc. received thousands of requests for service and information from Kalamazoo County residents, providing an array of emergency, transitional, and permanent housing solutions all with the aim of lifting these residents out of poverty, into permanent housing and onto self-sufficiency. On any given day, our staff will:

• Respond to a frantic housing emergency call and direct people to emergency shelter.
• Help provide back rent to a landlord, so a family can keep their housing.
• Offer housing rental support to an unemployed middle-aged woman with three children, thereby enabling her to find employment, and eventually move to permanent housing.
