Chicago Community Resources

Supporting a Thriving Northalsted and Beyond

 

Our community is the heart of our livelihood, and together we create a vibrant, inclusive neighborhood. We’re proud to share a variety of resources provided by the City of Chicago, some of our own members, and other organizations designed to uplift and support everyone, including LGBTQ+ individuals, People of Color, and other underrepresented groups. From city grants and mentorship programs for minority-owned businesses to health and wellness services and networking opportunities within our community, these resources ensure that everyone has the tools to thrive. Let’s continue to foster a neighborhood that celebrates diversity and empowers all voices. We will continue adding more resources as they become available to us.
