The Jewel In the Center of Pontiac
Grace Centers of Hope has pioneered a fresh approach to ending and preventing homelessness by weaving together supportive services, safe and affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization efforts. What once was a blighted neighborhood in downtown Pontiac, destroyed by drugs and prostitution, is now a growing community where children ride their bikes safely up and down the street. We call this transformed neighborhood “Little Grace Village”. Consisting of nine homes on Seneca Street in Pontiac, these houses have been purchased, restored to their original architecture, and rented to graduates of the Two-Year Aftercare Program at Grace Centers of Hope.
