Southside Community Center

A proposed 48-unit apartment complex at the site of the former Harrison School on Peoria's South Side would assist families transitioning out of homelessness, but residents who live in the vicinity feel the location is not the right place for such a development.

The cultural and community impact of the Juneteenth holiday continues to grow in Peoria each year, evidenced by a month filled with several celebrations and activities.

Two Peoria organizations are working together on an initiative to boost home ownership possibilities for low-income households on the city’s South Side, with financial assistance from the health department.
