Stewarding the Homan Square Community since 1989.


Our Mission | Our History

The Foundation for Homan Square serves as an umbrella organization over a tapestry of community resources in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. With K-12 educational facilities, an active community center, and a literal tower of nonprofit amenities, our community is thriving and ready for the next stage of development.

We strive to sustain an environment that helps students and families live their best lives through quality educational, recreational, healthcare and family support services, while instilling the desire to dream big and the skills to maximize success.
