We believe in
DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
From your business to your bungalow.
Our mission is to provide the Northwest Side and Belmont Cragin with the tools and resources to preserve affordable housing and prevent displacement and provide business development assistance to local small businesses.
WHO WE ARE
We’re your small business advisor, your rental counselor, your fellow organizer— and we’re here to help you grow your business, secure housing, and strengthen Belmont Cragin as a neighborhood where your community lives and thrives.
WHAT WE DO
We provide technical assistance and support services to small businesses, advising and resources to renters and landlords, and advocate for the best interests of the Belmont Cragin community. We provide our services free of charge through our partnerships with the City of Chicago as Neighborhood Business Development Centers (NBDC) and Technical Assistance Community Housing (TACOM) partners.
WHY WE DO IT
Latinx families and entrepreneurs are being rapidly displaced from our neighborhood and surrounding communities. We believe the families and business owners who have shaped our community deserve to stay here.
