About Habitat for Humanity Chicago

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.
