“I was accepted into the Champaign House in the summer of 2023. I needed to move back to Champaign for medical reasons. The care and support I have received here has made an incredible difference. I’m in a much better condition than when I first arrived. Having kind people around me has been very healing.”

“Thank you GCAP for saving my life! Homelessness in Champaign is rising and I would’ve never thought I would be close to it myself. Trying to maintain my health while having a place to stay is a battle that shook my world. GCAP not only gave me a roof over my head, but also a family network to love! All I can say (without crying haha) is THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO!”
