“We realized there were families doubling up, lacking credit and unable to secure apartments of their own. We knew more needed to be done and this project became a way to address that need."

We’re honored to share that Breakthrough is receiving a grant through United Way of Metro Chicago’s Response Fund.

Across the Chicago region, the housing crisis is putting immense pressure on individuals and families — high rent, eviction risk, and lost or unstable income. This support helps us respond when our neighbors need it most.

Through the Response Fund, United Way of Metro Chicago is investing $250,000 in 20 organizations — including Breakthrough — to immediately address housing and homelessness
prevention as needs continue to rise.
