28th Annual Have a Heart Gala Highlights!

Last Friday, Housing Forward hosted the 28^th Annual Have a Heart Gala at Bridgeport Art Center's Skyline Loft. This year’s theme was Community in Action, an idea that was exemplified by the evening’s honorees: Broadview Wesleyan Church; Loyola Street Medicine; and Illinois Housing Development Authority.

We are grateful to everyone who attended or supported the 2026 Have a Heart Gala. The evening was an amazing success. With your help, we surpassed our fundraising goal and raised more than $350,000 to support our work to end homelessness.
