Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that transforms lives through affordable and responsible homeownership.
The Housing Crisis in Chicago
A weak economy, extensive job losses, and record residential foreclosures have brought about a “Housing Crisis” in Chicago, leaving over 400,000 families in need of decent, affordable housing. Help us to MEASURE UP to our fundraising goal of $2,000,000.
We've raised nearly $1.2 million toward our goal!
