Who We Are

Three Organizations. A Community of Thousands. One Mission: Making Homelessness History

Millions of us call Chicago home, but on any given night, over 6,500 Chicagoans - men, women, and children dont have any place to call home and thousands more are just one unexpected setback away from joining them. These are our neighbors, this is our community, and together we can help. All Chicago, a game-changing collaboration between leaders who for decades have been providing support to our neighbors in need, is committed to one goal: making homelessness history. Formed in October 2011, All Chicago is a partnership that brings together all of the components necessary to create and support housing solutions in Chicago. All Chicago combines the experience, vision, and dedication of the Emergency Fund, the Chicago Alliance, and the Learning Center to lead a community of service providers, advocates, volunteers, and donors who collectively make a uniquely powerful impact on homelessness in Chicago.

Immediate Housing Help for Families. Sustainable Housing Solutions for Chicago.
All Chicago: Serves as a conduit for quickly and efficiently providing the financial assistance, tools, and resources which bring stability and hope to our neighbors who are in crisis and in immediate danger of losing their homes.

Develops and implements long-term, sustainable strategies and works tirelessly to secure funding and advocate for policies focused on making a home a reality for all Chicagoans.
