Here is something that made our week and we think it will make yours too!

Cori Michael of Nest Equity Realty and Alphie Jimenez of Rate - Guaranteed Rate are hosting a Pickleball Party this Sunday, June 14, and donating the proceeds to HODC. That means an afternoon of fun, friendly competition, light bites, and drinks β€” all in support of families in Lake County who need stable, permanent housing.

We love this. All of it.

Never played pickleball before? That's basically the best reason to go. (You will fit right in!) Go for the fun, stay for the cause, and share this post if you can't make it in person. Every share helps us reach more people who care about making our community a place where everyone has a home.

Today is a day we have been working toward for a long time. It is finally here!

Our newest development for people and families living with a disability, Poupard Place in Northbrook, welcomed its very first resident today. One person. One home. One beginning.

Behind the scenes, our amazing staff have been walking these hallways, imagining possibilities, exploring every room, picking out furniture for the common spaces, and making sure every corner of this building says, "You belong here."

Because home is a place where you are known, welcomed, and supported to live the life you choose.

Today is just day one and we cannot wait to watch this building fill with neighbors, stories, and community! More people will soon move in, surround themselves with what they love, and build something that is entirely theirs.

A heartfelt shoutout to our project partners, our financers, and our property management team, who have poured so much into making this moment happen. Your dedication shows in every detail. Thank you!

[Check out our staff touring the building and choosing furniture for the spaces our residents will share.]

A beautiful new space at Poupard Place now carries messages of hope, love, and community.

50 engraved bricks have been installed, all featuring a personalized or inspirational message from donors who chose to leave a lasting mark on this new supportive housing community in Northbrook.

As we walked through the patio and read the messages, we were reminded that affordable housing is about so much more than buildings. It is about people coming together to create places where others can feel safe, supported, welcomed, and valued.

We cannot wait for future residents of Poupard Place to spend time in this beautiful outdoor space and to see the encouragement and care reflected in every engraved brick.

To everyone who purchased a paver: THANK YOU for helping create a true sense of home and belonging. Your support will be part of this community for generations to come!

We broke ground!

On May 11th, our community came together in Evanston to celebrate the start of something truly special β€” Mt. Pisgah Apartments, 33 new affordable homes for the families, seniors, and neighbors who make Evanston the place it is.

Beyond the hard hats and shovels, this day was about the people who will one day call Mt. Pisgah home. Future residents like the grandmother who can age with dignity in her own neighborhood. The family whose kids won't have to change schools. The worker who can finally afford to live near the community they serve.

We’re so grateful for every person who helped make this happen. See the photos, hear from our speakers, and check out all the news coverage on our blog: https://hodc.org/mt-pisgah-breaks-ground-in-evanston/

On Monday May 11, 2026, community members, faith leaders, elected officials, neighbors and partners gathered in Evanston to celebrate the future home of 33 households.The official groundbreaking of Mt. Pisgah Apartments marks the beginning of a long-awaited affordable housing development that will c...

At the Illinois Affordable Housing Forum, our Executive Director Richard Koenig shared the story behind Zion Woods in Deerfield during a panel on Faith-Based Property Redevelopment.

The project began when Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church chose to donate a portion of their land along the north branch of the Chicago River to help create affordable housing.

After 11 years of planning and navigating major site challenges, Zion Woods welcomed residents in June 2025.

We were proud to share how partnerships like this can turn underutilized land into homes.
