Connect đź’™ Share đź’™ Listen đź’™ Serve The Center of Concern is a nonprofit agency serving individuals and families in northwest Chicagoland through housing, community, and older adult services. The mission of the Center of Concern is to provide housing solutions, support services, and counseling for older adults, people with disabilities, and others in need, enabling them to live with dignity and independence. Since 1978, the Center of Concern has been a source of hope and inspiration to thousands of clients and volunteers whose lives have been enriched by our programs. We are here to inform, advocate, and intervene on behalf of residents struggling with challenges related to aging, homelessness, and accessing resources to remain independent in their homes. The many services provided by the Center of Concern make a real difference in the quality of life for many in the community and are provided without regard to age, gender, disability, race, sexual orientation, military/veteran, national origin, or financial status.
