Mission For BN the Solution
Homelessness is a complex issue that affects individuals and families in Bloomington-Normal and on a National scale. We hope this site will provide education, resources, and ways for our community to take action and support those in need.
While the City of Bloomington and the Town of Normal do not directly provide social services or shelter, both communities play an important role in supporting efforts to address homelessness. Since 2016, a portion of local sales tax revenue has been shared with McLean County to fund mental health initiatives, many of which promote housing stability and support homelessness services through local non-profits.
Additionally, both the City and Town offer grants to individuals and organizations for housing revitalization and social services, further contributing to solutions that help those in need
