Housing               


Goodwill’s Housing Program helps low-income individuals and families lease one of our 15 low-cost houses or apartments in an effort to gain control of their economic resources and decision making, so they can maintain family and financial stability.

Individuals are provided with an array of integrated services including budget surveys, job search assistance, and collaborative efforts with various community agencies. This program is designed to be flexible and offer the services and support as needed in an effort to help individuals gain self-sufficiency.

Goodwill also owns and maintains a four-unit accessible housing complex in Marion. The one and two bedroom apartments are designed for persons with physical disabilities by providing lowered sinks and countertops, accessible appliances, easy roll-in showers, and accessible parking.

After facing personal issues, Harold was having a hard time finding employment. He was living out of his truck. To complicate his problems, Harold's truck broke down, and he could not travel to employment interviews. Harold went to work at Goodwill as a merchandise processor. To address his immediate needs, Harold lived in one of Goodwill’s rental properties and purchased a car through Marion Goodwill's Wheels-to-Work program. Harold states, “I don’t know where I would be without Goodwill. They have always been there for me.”
