ABOUT US - Board of Directors

The Dwelling Place of Vermilion County was founded in April 2017 by five Danville citizens with compassionate hearts for the homeless, those at risk of homelessness and their needs. This original group of five citizens has grown to a Board of Directors comprising eight members and one board volunteer.  Working diligently and prudently the board has developed plans to open a daytime drop-in center where opportunities will be available for our friends to better and even transform their lives.

The board looks forward to the day that its mission becomes reality.
