Join Us for Hope for Homes Day of Giving

On Thursday, July 17, Housing Forward will participate in Hope for Homes Day, a statewide day of giving led by La Casa Norte and recognized by Governor Pritzker, Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle. This fundraising day brings together nonprofits across Illinois to take meaningful action toward ending homelessness and promoting housing justice.

Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 to support the opening of our new Emergency Overnight Shelter, a critical step in expanding our services to meet increasing demand.

With the generous support of the Village of Oak Park and Cook County, Housing Forward will be able to host up to 40 individuals each night in this new space, located at 112 S. Humphrey in Oak Park.  

In the weeks leading up to Hope for Homes Day, we’ll be sharing updates on construction, interviews with our staff, and ways you can get involved, including volunteer opportunities.

Stay tuned, spread the word, and support us in making our services more accessible to those in need.
