Abstract

Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County has been working to improve the housing conditions in West Urbana for several years, building their first home in the neighborhood in 1992. The next step towards revitalizing this neighborhood is the expansion of Habitat's housing services to include critical home repairs and continued efforts of community development. This report is thorough analysis of a local community, and details how a non-profit agency has the ability to transform a neighborhood's vitality. Moreover, this report explains the power of partnerships not only between a city government, non-profit organization, and community members, but a college student and a local non-profit.
