Mid Central Community Action

What Mid Central Community Action does

Mid Central Community Action (MCCA) is a private nonprofit social services agency incorporated in Illinois and headquartered in Bloomington, with a secondary office in Pontiac. Founded in 1965 and operating across McLean and Livingston Counties in central Illinois, the organization delivers a portfolio of interconnected community programs organized under three pillars: Countering Domestic Violence (24-hour hotline, counseling, Neville House emergency shelter, and 40-hour advocate training), Combatting Homelessness (Permanent Supportive Housing and Mayors Manor transitional housing), and Promoting Financial Stability (Next Step Financial Opportunity Center, HUD-approved homeownership counseling, and Housing Stability Navigator case management). A Social Service Resource Directory extends MCCA's role as a regional referral clearinghouse for abuse, housing, health, mental health, financial, legal, and veteran services.

MCCA's business model is that of a designated Community Action Agency funded primarily through federal grants rather than fee-for-service revenue. Programs are provided at no cost to eligible clients, with operational funding sourced from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (CSBG, EBRP, DVPI), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CDBG, ESG), U.S. Department of Justice (CVA), and U.S. Department of Treasury (NA, ARPA), supplemented by individual and organizational donations processed through the GiveLively platform. Distribution occurs via walk-in offices, a 24-hour hotline, scheduled appointments, community workshops, and referral partnerships.

The agency employs 11-50 staff and is led by a Director of Operations and Outreach (Joey Keller), a newly appointed Chief Financial Officer (Amy Lunn), and a Chief Operations Officer (Jennifer M. Orban). MCCA maintains no proprietary technology platform or digital product, operating as a traditional service-delivery organization whose outputs are measured in clients served, shelter nights provided, and counseling hours delivered rather than in technology KPIs.
