Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago has worked with financial institutions, foundations, government agencies and community residents to remove the barriers that keep low-income and working-class families and neighborhoods of color from achieving the American dream of homeownership and thriving communities.
NHS hosts its Annual Awards each March, and this year marks 51 years of service in the community. Awards are given to local, regional, and national leaders who exemplify leadership, innovation, and passion in making our communities better places to live and work, ensuring everyone has access to the tools needed to build wealth and strengthen their families and neighborhoods.

NHS Chicago
Since 1975, NHS has recognized the impact of race, income and social status on a person’s housing security. We know homeownership has a foundational role to play in community development and closing the racial wealth gap. Our teams work to stabilize and revitalize low and moderate-income communities throughout the greater Chicagoland area and suburbs. We facilitate such revitalization by helping middle-class and working-class families purchase and maintain their own homes. NHS works to correct the inequities and end the exploitative practices that create housing insecurity. Well-maintained, owner-occupied homes have a range of economic, social, and psychological benefits for their residents and are critical components of stable and economically healthy neighborhoods.
