Big news for Rockford and our region!

We’re proud to announce we were awarded a $1.6 million HUD Jobs Plus grant, one of only 10 housing authorities selected out of about 3,300 nationwide.

Jobs Plus is coming to Collier Garden, and it’s built around a simple idea: work should always pay. When residents earn more, their rent won’t go up, so they keep what they earn. Along the way, residents will receive job training, career counseling, financial coaching, and support to build savings, and move toward self-sufficiency. Our region will benefit from more skilled workers for local employers, more money spent in our communities, and families building lasting stability for generations to come.

We’re grateful to our partners at The Workforce Connection and Bridges to Prosperity Northern Illinois for helping make this happen. Planning is now taking place, and the program will be available to residents beginning March 2027.
