Project New Start

Overview

Project New Start connects families with vouchers and other services to move towards permanent housing and stability. The project utilizes a coordinated interagency effort with the Kendall County Health Department. The program began after residents who were homeless raised concerns about the practices of a privately-owned campground who was providing substandard accommodations and employed predatory practices like forcing residents to purchase propane from the campground and employing residents as security guards without proper training.
