Two Housing and Human Services Organizations in Chicago Explore Merging

Association House of Chicago provides comprehensive bilingual (English and Spanish) services in behavioral health, child welfare, workforce development, and community health. Latin United Community Housing Association (LUCHA) advances housing as a human right through advocacy, affordable housing development, and community building. Association House and LUCHA both serve the same community (Humboldt Park) in Chicago, participate in the same neighborhood advocacy groups, and refer clients to each other’s services. The executive director of Association House approached LUCHA about a partnership due to an interest in expanding access to housing services to its clients. The SeaChange-Lodestar Fund for Nonprofit Collaboration provided a grant to help cover the costs of a merger consultant.
