About the Center

Since opening our Southeast Chicago office on the heels of the steel mill closings, we are now enthusiastic participants, with our collaborators, in the economic and social renaissance developing within the community. Our staff is proud to have worked in South Chicago since 1985 and families throughout the community see our new Southeast Center as a beacon of hope for the future.
