North East Community Action Corporation recently received top ratings for administering a federally funded rent assistance program.

The 11 counties are part of the Lincoln County Public Housing Agency overseen and administered by NECAC, which also administers the program in St. Charles County where it received a 102% rating last year.

This is the ninth time in ten years NECAC received HUD’s superior rating.
