about
Our Mission
Formerly known as Midland Area Homes, Home To Stay Housing Assistance Center promotes self-sufficiency to Midland County residents in need of stable housing and support services.
Our dedicated volunteers, board of directors and staff have a collective vision of a community with safe, stable housing for all. No one should have to worry about where they’re going to sleep tonight and if they’ll be safe.
We are designated by the State of Michigan as the Housing Assessment and Resource Agency (HARA) for Midland County, making us a recognized central point of intake for high-need individuals and families facing eviction or homelessness.

OUR STORY
In 1969, 10 local churches saw a need for a coordinated response to housing issues of low-income, senior and disabled residents. They pooled their resources and ideas around a central mission of providing housing assistance to those in need and Midland Area Homes was established. In 2018, the organization rebranded to Home To Stay Housing Assistance Center to capture our passion and goals for the Midland County community.

Home To Stay works towards its mission through the implementation of key programs like the Home Repair program, which aims to enhance the safety and accessibility of homes by helping to fund health- and safety-related repairs for seniors and income-eligible Midland County residents. These repairs can include accessibility and bathroom modifications, windows repairs, furnace and hot water heater repairs, minor plumbing or electrical repairs, and roofing repairs. Another program at Home To Stay is the Homeless Prevention program which includes case management, rental assistance, advocacy, housing resource information and referrals. A third critical support program is the Furniture Redistribution program, which recognizes that furniture needs can arise at any time.
We hope you'll consider donating to us today as your support can help us continue to meet the housing needs in our community. Home To Stay and the Midland County community appreciate your support for these important programs!
