2017 Impact Report

A front door that keeps out the winter cold.
A kitchen where dinner can be cooked for the family.
A safe, secure home that forms the bedrock for a successful life.

This is what your generous support of HOW gives to families dealing with housing insecurity or homelessness.

Our 2017 Impact Report is full of information about how your donation made a difference last year. Together we're changing lives and making an impact in ending homelessness in Chicago.  Thank you for your support!

Adopt a HOW Student this summer!
Success in the classroom requires the right resources, but for many in our community school supplies aren't easily affordable. To help give students the tools they need to succeed, HOW is hosting an Adopt-a-Student School Supply Drive, now through July 31!

This year we hope to pair generous donors, like you, with HOW students to fill their back-to-school supply needs. Children and teens who have experienced housing instability and homelessness face many challenges in keeping up with school work and achieving good grades, but together we can make sure that they have all of the materials they need in order to succeed!
