Resident & Family Services
Our philosophy of service seeks to guide clients in setting and attaining goals and prevent issues or behaviors that may jeopardize their housing status.
We accomplish this by providing a comprehensive assessment, case management and services for families, seniors and homeless at-risk adults.
Our very own Jackie Taylor Holsten, Executive Director of Holsten Human Capital Development NFP, seen here with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, at the “Grand Opening” of 520 Hobbie at Parkside.
This beautiful development represents the final phase of the Parkside of Old Town development and brings 99 new apartment homes to the community, including housing for returning CHA residents, affordable units, and market rate homes.
One of the most powerful moments of the day came during Jackie’s remarks. After celebrating the incredible work and partnerships that brought this vision to life, Jackie made her focus very clear: “My thing is about the people.”
That truly says it all. For Jackie, the buildings matter, but the people who will call them home matter most. How do we serve them? How do we make sure they’re okay? How do we create opportunities for people and families to live their very best lives?
That is what community development is all about. ❤️ ...
