Our vision for Homan Square is to create and maintain a special place that improves the quality of life for the residents of the North Lawndale neighborhood. We believe that access to high-quality social services, a modern recreation facility and excellent educational opportunities can make a difference in people’s lives. Guided by our 2018 Strategic Development Plan, we continue to pursue place-based community development initiatives that make this vision a reality.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is a model of ADA-accessible housing for people with disabilities, coupled with supportive, community-based services to help them live independently.

Homan Gateway
Homan Square residents have identified the vacant, south-west corner of Homan Avenue and Harrison Street as a primary site to create a community-oriented space.
In Homan Square, we believe that the presence of art, creativity, and culture in a neighborhood improves the quality of life for all residents. Creative endeavors open up space for community dialogue and contribute to a more representative – and fun! – vision of the built environment.
