VOUCHER PROGRAM

Our Household Goods Voucher Program began in 2021 to provide beds and essential household items to Howell and Oregon County renters who were formerly unhoused. 

Since its inception, we have provided household goods to over 36 families and individuals in need. 

Participants in this program are vetted by Sharon Cobb at Ozark Action when they apply for housing. For more information, contact Sharon at 417-256-6147.
