Northwest Side Housing Center

WELCOME

Do you picture home as a safe, comfortable place for you and your family to be?

Do you picture that home in a community of people who have that same image?

So do we. We are the Northwest Side Housing Center (NWSHC). We work with people on the northwest side of Chicago to make that picture a reality.

The Northwest Side Housing Center (NWSHC) is an Illinois nonprofit organization that opened in June of 2003 in response to the needs of the residents of the northwest side of Chicago. The mission of NWSHC is to build and strengthen our community by working with people for safe and affordable housing. We envision a diverse community where people are connected to each other and live in safe and affordable housing
