Habitat for Humanity Chicago

About Us

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.
