A multi-housing site is any community where there are lots of people living in close proximity. Apartments, Town Homes, Condominiums, Public Housing Projects, Mobile Home and RV Parks, and High Rise Residential Buildings are a few examples.

The goal of ICO is to empower volunteers to take the church to these communities by meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children and families. There are many opportunities for ministry in these communities such as day camps, block parties, and sports clinics. Through the efforts of our summer missionary volunteers, our desire is to lay the foundation for our local churches to sponsor on-going ministries throughout the rest of the year.
