Community Action House

08/31/2026

None of us were meant to navigate life’s hardest moments alone. 💚

Whether someone is facing a health crisis, job loss, rising costs, or homelessness, having people who notice, care, and help can make all the difference.

That's why every Community Action House program is built around relationships as much as resources. Because wellness grows through encouragement. Through trusted relationships. Through knowing someone believes in your future.

Wellness looks different for every person, but the foundation is the same: healthy food, a safe home, financial stability, and a community that cares.

This is the community we’re building together. It’s the kind of community we all want to call home. 🏡

The Grand ReOpening of Community Action House Resale South is finally here! ✨

Today is Day 1 of our Grand ReOpening celebration at our southside location (694 Michigan Ave, Holland), and we’re so excited to welcome our community through these doors once again!

As we kick off the weekend, we also want to say thank you. So many people have helped us get here—from those who gave financially and donated goods, to the volunteers, partners, and friends who shared their time and talents along the way. This has truly been a community effort, and we’re incredibly grateful for every person who had a hand in making it possible.

That’s what Resale has always been about: from neighbors, for neighbors. Neighbors giving what they have, sharing their time, and coming together to build something that makes our whole community stronger. 💚

We’re open today and tomorrow from 10 AM–6 PM. We’d love to have you stop by and celebrate this special weekend with us! 🎉

A safe, stable home provides the foundation people need to heal, establish routines, build relationships, and plan for tomorrow.

Finding housing has become increasingly difficult. Rising costs, limited availability, complicated applications, and long waitlists can place stability just out of reach. That’s why our Outreach & Housing Access team walks alongside neighbors, helping them navigate barriers while building trusted relationships that continue long after housing is secured.

Adam* first came to Community Action House with one goal: find a safe place to live. Although he worked full-time, his income wasn’t enough to qualify for an apartment. While searching for housing, he slept in his car or stayed with friends whenever possible.

Homelessness affected every part of his life, including his health. Adam urgently needed surgery, but without stable housing, his doctors couldn’t move forward.

Our Outreach & Housing Access team helped him navigate housing applications and connect with a Housing Choice Voucher. Along the way, he found encouragement at the Community Kitchen and Refresh: Hygiene and Hope.

Earlier this year, Adam moved into his own apartment. Furnishings from Community Action House Resale helped transform it into a home, and today he’s a Food Club member as well. With stable housing in place, Adam was finally able to receive the surgery he’d been waiting for.

Today, he’s healing, returning to work each day, and looking toward the future with renewed hope.

For Adam, wellness looks like a safe home, access to healthcare, nourishing food, and a community that never stopped walking alongside him.

With only 3 days until the Grand ReOpening of Community Action House Resale South, we wanted to share some progress photos of our newest mural! 🎨

We’re incredibly grateful to have talented local artist Joel Schoon Tanis Art once again capturing our work through art. His mural celebrates how, through Resale, our community's generosity creates hope, health, and stability for neighbors building a stronger future. From neighbors, for neighbors. 💚

Stop by this week to see Joel’s progress, then join us for the Grand ReOpening of Resale South (694 Michigan Ave, Holland) this Friday and Saturday! Check out all the exciting things planned for the weekend and RSVP here: https://loom.ly/sbA5AZ0

Financial stress affects nearly every part of our lives.

It influences the food we buy, where we live, how we manage our health, and whether we're able to prepare for the future.

And just like physical health, financial health is built over time, and it requires the right tools and support. Our Financial Wellness team partners with neighbors to build budgets, improve credit, reduce debt, prepare taxes, save for future goals, and navigate major financial decisions.

Last year, Amber* was staying at a transitional housing agency when she connected with our Financial Wellness team. Determined to build a stronger future, she began working one-on-one with a Financial Wellness Specialist to create a budget, strengthen her savings, and steadily pay off debt.

After months of planning and encouragement, Amber purchased a home of her very own earlier this year. Today, she's building on a foundation of financial confidence and the stability that comes with having a safe place to call home! 🏠

For Amber, wellness looks like financial freedom, the security of a home, and the confidence to build the future she's worked so hard to achieve.

It’s been a joy to watch these apartments come to life! 🏗️

In partnership with Dwelling Place of Grand Rapids, we’re working toward bringing 52 new affordable homes to Holland. 🏠

At the Kollen Park development, work continues both inside and out. Insulation, drywall, and interior rough-ins are progressing, while masonry and siding continue around the building. Entry canopies are also now in place!

At the Hope Apartments development, landscaping is underway, with irrigation now complete. Inside, apartment punch work and paint touch-ups are finished, and crews have moved into the second-floor corridor as the project nears completion.

This work is powered by partners, community members, and neighbors who believe everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. Thank you for helping us turn this vision into a reality!
