Chicago is a unique city, full of grit, determination and possibility—and we're excited to be a part of it. Committed to the betterment of all residents, our goal is to provide the one in 10 people facing inadequate housing with a decent place to call home. We put residents first. - We collaborate with residents to ensure our work aligns with the dreams they have for their community. We think in assets, not deficits. - Every neighborhood we work in presents its own opportunities. It's our job to highlight them, so that everything unique about an area can be celebrated. We locate the perfect partners. - Due to the complexity of family and community health, we seek out other organizations who can help us meet needs holistically. We embrace planning. - Significant change requires significant planning, so we embrace multi-party, multi-year efforts that will benefit more people in the Chicago area. We invest in homeownership. - The ability to own a home changes families, neighborhoods and even generations. We are expanding our services so that more families will experience long-term success.
