The Kankakee 360 Life Center will host its second annual Housing Community Resource Fair on Thursday, Sept. 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. at The Salvation Army, 148 N. Harrison Ave. The event aims to connect residents with local services at a time when affordable housing and community health supports remain in high demand.
What the fair offers
Organizers say the fair brings together a range of local agencies under one roof, so residents can get information, ask questions, and learn about next steps without making multiple appointments.
Attendees can expect resources on everything from rental assistance to child development.

The fair is free and open to the public.
Anyone seeking help with housing questions, parents of young children, people worried about nutrition or mental health, and community members interested in local service options will likely find relevant information. There is no cost to attend and no prior registration required.
Location details: The Salvation Army, 148 N. Harrison Ave. Event hours are 4–6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24.
Bringing these services together reduces barriers for residents who may otherwise struggle to navigate multiple systems. For many families, a short visit to the fair could produce immediate referrals or applications that otherwise take weeks to arrange.
