Allen Neighborhood Center is a place-based organization that serves as a hub for neighborhood revitalization and for activities that promote the health and well-being of Lansing’s Eastside community and other stakeholders.

Outreach & Engagement

  • Housing: Our team will connect you with local resources to support you with mortgage assistance, first-time home ownership, local realtors, landlord-tenant assistance, and home repair resources and services.
  • Health Coverage: We provide information and enrollment assistance for Ingham Health Plan and Medicaid. Interns and staff will help with faxing information and getting you appropriate health coverage.
  • Canvassing: Our interns and staff walk the Eastside to share news and resources about the Center and to hear from neighbors about their perceptions of the ‘state of the neighborhood’.
  • Free Health and Fitness Activities:  We encourage exercise by providing tokens to the Farmers Market as incentives for exercising, healthy eating, and supporting local farmers.
